Similar to the callstack frame matching, we also have to compare
the symbol name when sorting hist entries. The reason is twofold:
On one hand, multiple inlined functions will use the same symbol
start/end values of the parent, non-inlined symbol. As such, all
of these symbols often end up missing from top-level report, as
they get merged with the non-inlined frame. On the other hand,
multiple different functions may end up inlining the same function,
and we need to aggregate these values properly.
