perf top: Expand the range of multithreaded phase

In __cmd_top(), perf_set_multithreaded() is used to enable
pthread_rwlock, thus down_read() and down_write () are not nops,
handling concurrency problems

Then 'perf top' uses perf_set_singlethreaded(), switching to the single
threaded phase, assuming that no thread concurrency will happen later.

However, a use after free problem could occur in the single threaded
phase, the concurrent procedure is this:

display_thread                              process_thread
--------------                              --------------
thread__comm_len
  -> thread__comm_str
    -> __thread__comm_str(thread)
                                            thread__delete
                                             -> comm__free
                                              -> comm_str__put
                                               -> zfree(&cs->str)
    -> thread->comm_len = strlen(comm);

Since in single thread phase, perf_singlethreaded is true, down_read()
and down_write() do nothing to avoid concurrency problems.

This patch moves the perf_set_singlethreaded() call to the function tail
to expand the multithreaded phase range, making display_thread() and
process_thread() concurrency safe.
