Subject: [PATCH -tip] perf stat: memcpy is only required if no event is
 selected and !null_run


Set attrs and nr_counters if no event is selected and !null_run

Setting of attrs should depend on number of counters,
so we need to memcpy only for sizeof(default_attrs)

and set nr_counters as ARRAY_SIZE(default_attrs) in place of hardcoded value
