perf tools: Only display parent field if explictly sorted
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We don't need to display the parent field if the parent
sorting machinery is only used for parent filtering
(as in "-p foo").

However if parent filtering is used in combination with
explicit parent sorting ( -s parent), we want to
display it.

Result with:

  perf report -p kernel_thread -s parent
