Subject: latencytop: optimize LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH loops a bit.

It looks like there is no need to loop any longer when 'same == 0'.

thanks for the contribution!
while I like your patch, I wonder if we should go even a little further in
cleaning this up

                                break;
                }

I mean, we could make it look like this:

if (latency_record[i].backtrace[q] != record) {
        same = 0;
        break;
}
/* 0 and ULONG_MAX entries denote the end of backtrace */
if (record == 0)
        break;
if (record == ULONG_MAX)
        break;


to me at least this is a bit more readable/simple than the good first step 
you've
already taken..
Do you want to do it this way? I'd sure encourage/endorse such a patch...
