python: Fix `get_simstat` func for non-Root SimObject case
The `get_simstat` function in `src/python/m5/stats/gem5stats.py` was
returning an error when a non-Root Simobject was passed:
```
AttributeError: object 'PyTrafficGen' has no attribute 'name'
At:
build/NULL_MESI_Two_Level/python/m5/SimObject.py(1430): __getattr__
build/NULL_MESI_Two_Level/python/m5/stats/gem5stats.py(279): get_simstat
```
The issue was an assumption that SimObjects have a field `name`. They
do not. To get a SimObject's name the `get_name()` function must be
used. This patch fixes this issue.
In addition to this fix, the documentation in this function has been
improved to state more clearly what can be passed and what shall be
returned. Previously it was somewhat unclear.
