Subject: [tip:perf/core] perf stat: Don't print bogus data on -e cycles

perf stat: Don't print bogus data on -e cycles

When only the cycles event is requested:

$ perf stat -e cycles dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
512000000 bytes (512 MB) copied, 0.26123 s, 2.0 GB/s

 Performance counter stats for 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000':

       911,626,453 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz

       0.262113350 seconds time elapsed

The 0.000 GHz comment in the output is totally bogus and misleading. It
happens because update_shadow_stats() doesn't touch runtime_nsecs_stats;
it is only written when a requested counter matches a SW_TASK_CLOCK. In
our case, since we have only requested HW_CPU_CYCLES,
runtime_nsecs_stats is unavailable. So, omit printing the comment
altogether.
