hum, so people using CSV mode will now see extra 2 numbers
at the end of the line:

  $ ./perf.old stat -x, -e cycles ls > /dev/null
  2679161,,cycles
  $ ./perf stat -x, -e cycles ls > /dev/null
  2574169,,cycles,1295544,100.00

we could be breaking existing scripts..

you recently added 'running-time' option for record,
could you please add same option for stat?

plus 2 nits below

thanks,
jirka

nit - need { } for multiplne lines 'if' leg

we already have 'csv_output' check in print_running
