perf: Fix performance issue with perf report
On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when
running perf report.
If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call
perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match.
As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an
awful lot of time in there.
The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in
perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually
(eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most
common usage of perf report.
