Subject: [Patch] perf stat: always separate stalled cycles per insn

The "stalled cycles per insn" is appended to "instructions" when
the CPU has this hardware counter directly. We should always make it
a separate line, which also aligns to the output when we hit the
"if (total && avg)" branch.

Before:
$ sudo perf stat --all-cpus --field-separator , --log-fd 1 -einstructions,cycles -- sleep 1
4565048704,,instructions,64114578096,100.00,1.34,insn per cycle,,
3396325133,,cycles,64146628546,100.00,,

After:
$ sudo ./tools/perf/perf stat --all-cpus --field-separator , --log-fd 1 -einstructions,cycles -- sleep 1
6721924,,instructions,24026790339,100.00,0.22,insn per cycle
,,,,,0.00,stalled cycles per insn
30939953,,cycles,24025512526,100.00,,
