perf tools: Put caller above callee in --children mode

The __hpp__sort_acc() sorts entries using callchain depth in order to
put callers above in children mode.  But it assumed the callchain order
was callee-first.  Now default (for children) is caller-first so the
order of entries is reverted.

For example, consider following case:

  $ perf report --no-children
  ..l
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object        Symbol
  # ........  .......  ...................  ..........................
  #
      99.44%  a.out    a.out                [.] main
              |
              ---main
                 __libc_start_main
                 _start

Then children mode should show 'start' above '__libc_start_main' since
it's the caller (parent) of the __libc_start_main.  But it's reversed:

  # Children      Self  Command  Shared Object    Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  ...............  .....................
  #
      99.61%     0.00%  a.out    libc-2.25.so     [.] __libc_start_main
      99.61%     0.00%  a.out    a.out            [.] _start
      99.54%    99.44%  a.out    a.out            [.] main

This patch fixes it.

  # Children      Self  Command  Shared Object    Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  ...............  .....................
  #
      99.61%     0.00%  a.out    a.out            [.] _start
      99.61%     0.00%  a.out    libc-2.25.so     [.] __libc_start_main
      99.54%    99.44%  a.out    a.out            [.] main
