perf bench: Fix undefined behavior in cmpworker()

The comparison function cmpworker() violates the C standard's
requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry
and transitivity:

Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.

In its current implementation, cmpworker() incorrectly returns 0 when
w1->tid < w2->tid, which breaks both symmetry and transitivity. This
violation causes undefined behavior, potentially leading to issues such
as memory corruption in glibc [1].

Fix the issue by returning -1 when w1->tid < w2->tid, ensuring
compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.
