perf diff: Use hists__link when not pairing just with baseline

Previously there were blind spots because we were not looking at symbols
that didn't ocurred in the latest run:

  # perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
  # perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]

Before:

  # perf diff
  # Event 'cycles'
  #
  # Baseline    Delta      Shared Object                         Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  .............................
  #
              +10.38%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] get_empty_filp
               +9.51%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] update_sd_lb_stats
               +9.41%  libpopt.so.0.0.0   [.] _init
               +9.29%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
       9.05%   +0.12%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] do_sys_open
               +9.14%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kfree
               +8.98%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] free_pages_and_swap_cache
               +8.78%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] unmap_page_range
       9.36%   -0.90%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] zap_pte_range
       7.60%   +0.09%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_next_bit
               +4.37%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] place_entity
               +3.38%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_page_fault
               +0.80%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_apic_mem_write
       0.21%   +0.43%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe
  #

So 9.05 + 9.36 + 7.60 + 0.21 != 100%

Now using the recently introduced hists__link we can see the whole
picture:

  # perf diff
  # Event 'cycles'
  #
  # Baseline    Delta      Shared Object                         Symbol

       9.16%   -9.16%  ld-2.12.so         [.] close

Now:

8.44 + 9.05 + 10.55 + 17.70 + 9.05 + 9.36 +
7.60 + 4.01 + 9.27 + 0.78 + 0.57 + 4.25 + 0.21 + 9.16 == 100%
