Subject: [PATCH 10/20] perf stat: Handle partially bad results with merging

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

When any result that is being merged is bad, mark them all bad to give
consistent output in interval mode.

No before/after, because the issue was only found in theoretical review
and it is hard to reproduce
