This resulted in a build error with reference count checker.

$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1
...
builtin-sched.c: In function ‘timehist_print_sample’:
builtin-sched.c:2057:39: error: ‘struct thread’ has no member named ‘tid’
2057 | printf(" %5c ", thread->tid == 0 ? 'I' : state);
|

The struct thread is protected by the refcount checker so
you should not access the members directly. Instead,
please use a help function like thread__tid().

Thanks,
Namhyung
