Subject: [PATCH 7/8] perf report: Correct display of samples and events in header

From: Ashay Rane <ashay.rane@...c.utexas.edu>

This patch prints the number of samples and the count of performance
events separately.

This allows comparing performance of different applications with each
other.

Previously, the sample count was displayed against an 'Events:' heading.
With this patch, the header now reads (for example):

Samples: 5K of event 'instructions'
Event count (approx.): 2993026545

The patch covers both the stdio and the browser interface.
