Subject: [PATCH 4.18 042/168] tools/kvm_stat: fix updates for dead guests

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Raspl <stefan.raspl@...ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 710ab11ad9329d2d4b044405e328c994b19a2aa9 ]

With pid filtering active, when a guest is removed e.g. via virsh shutdown,
successive updates produce garbage.
Therefore, we add code to detect this case and prevent further body updates.
Note that when displaying the help dialog via 'h' in this case, once we exit
we're stuck with the 'Collecting data...' message till we remove the filter.
