Adrian Hunter fc18380fb9 perf script: Display negative tid in non-sample events
The kernel can release tasks while they are still running. This can
result in a task having no tid, in which case perf records a tid of -1.
Improve the perf script output in that case.

Example:

Before:

  # cat ./autoreap.c

  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>
  #include <signal.h>

  struct sigaction act = {
          .sa_handler = SIG_IGN,
  };

  int main()
  {
          pid_t child;
          int status = 0;

          sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, NULL);
          child = fork();
          if (child == 0)
                  return 123;
          wait(&status);
          return 0;
  }

  # gcc -o autoreap autoreap.c
  # ./perf record -a -e dummy --switch-events ./autoreap

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.948 MB perf.data ]
  # ./perf script --show-task-events --show-switch-events | grep -C2 'autoreap\|4294967295\|-1'
