perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Fix Array TypeError

commit fd931b2e234a7cc451a7bbb1965d6ce623189158 upstream.

The 'Array' class is present in more than one python standard library.
In some versions of Python 3, the following error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py", line 4702, in <lambda>
    reports_menu.addAction(CreateAction(label, "Create a new window displaying branch events", lambda a=None,x=dbid: self.NewBranchView(x), self))
  File "tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py", line 4727, in NewBranchView

  File "tools/perf/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py", line 2658, in __init__
    self.buffer = Array(c_char, self.buffer_size, lock=False)
TypeError: abstract class

This apparently happens because Python can be inconsistent about which
class of the name 'Array' gets imported. Fix by importing explicitly by
name so that only the desired 'Array' gets imported.
