perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt struct
After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.
The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:
$ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio
Performance report:
9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip
Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.
Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.
Performance counter stats for (10 runs):
before:
358,319,732,626 cycles ( +- 0.55% )
467,129,581,515 instructions # 1.30 insns per cycle ( +- 0.00% )
150.943975206 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.62% )
now:
278,785,972,990 cycles ( +- 0.12% )
370,146,797,640 instructions # 1.33 insns per cycle ( +- 0.00% )
