perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rate

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.

Say you launched:

 perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
 perf report -g fractal,10.0

And you got:

2.33%       hackbench  [kernel]                  [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
                |
                |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
                |          poll_freewait
                |          do_sys_poll
                |          sys_poll
                |          sysenter_dispatch
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0x1ffadea3c
                |
                |--7.14%-- __up_read
                |          up_read
                |          do_page_fault
                |          page_fault
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0xa0df710000000a
                ...

It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.

The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:

  limit = 4 * 0.9;

The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%

We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.
