perf report: Fall-back to function name comparison for -g srcline
When a callchain entry has no srcline available, we ended up comparing the instruction pointer. I consider this to be not too useful. Rather, I think we should group the entries by function name, which this patch adds. For people who want to split the data on the IP boundary, using `-g address` is the correct choice.
