I was not sure which suite has a single tastcase, so I experimented for 
libpfm4 by deleting a testcase so it has only 1x remaining, I get:

before your change:
john@localhost:~/acme/tools/perf> sudo ./perf test 63
63: Test libpfm4 support : Skip

after:

john@localhost:~/acme/tools/perf> sudo ./perf test 63
63: Test libpfm4 support : Skip (not compiled in)

Although it is odd to have a single sub-test, is there a reason for 
which we don't print its name? We print the name when there are multiple 
sub-tests.

Thanks,
John
