Subject: [PATCH v2] perf stat: Don't print bogus data for stalled-cycles

When the stalled-cycles-frontend event is requested without the cycles
event:

  $ perf stat -e stalled-cycles-frontend -- git s
  ## acme...ram/acme

   Performance counter stats for 'git s':

         326,947,423      stalled-cycles-frontend   #    0.00% frontend cycles idle

         0.363599976 seconds time elapsed

The 0.00% frontend cycles idle comment in the output is totally bogus
and misleading. Omit printing it here, as well as in the
stalled-cycles-backend case.
