That part is ok with me, matches what the subject states it does. The
part I thought was out of place is the SNIP part ;-)

While the original code did a update_shadow_stats(...), the code that replaces
it calls perf_evsel__compute_deltas(), etc in addition to updating the shadow
stats.

Ok, I see, __perf_evsel__read_on_cpu() does that... my bad, will re-read it
with this in mind, but even then, now we have to make sure
perf_evsel__alloc_counts() was called before this, and also the original code
did it for all AGGR_ modes, will check.
