+ Enable hierarchical output. In the hierarchy mode, each sort key groups

+ level sort key.

+ For example:
+ In normal output:

+ perf report -s dso,sym
+ # Overhead Shared Object Symbol
+ 50.00% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfunc1
+ 20.00% perf [.] foo
+ 15.00% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfunc2
+ 10.00% perf [.] bar
