If sched_in event for current task is not recorded, sched_in timestamp
will be set to end_time of time window interest, causing an error in
timestamp show. In this case, we choose to ignore this event.

Test scenario:
  perf[1229608] does not record the first sched_in event, run time and sch delay are both 0

  # perf sched timehist
  Samples of sched_switch event do not have callchains.

Before:
  arbitrarily specify a time window of interest, timestamp will be set to an incorrect value

  # perf sched timehist --time 100,200
  Samples of sched_switch event do not have callchains.

 After:

  # perf sched timehist --time 100,200
  Samples of sched_switch event do not have callchains.
             time    cpu  task name                       wait time  sch delay   run time
