Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Fix no metric header if --per-socket and --metric-only set

We received a report that was no metric header displayed if --per-socket
and --metric-only were both set.

It's hard for script to parse the perf-stat output. This patch fixes this
issue.

Before:

  root@...-ppc:~# perf stat -a -M CPI --metric-only --per-socket
  ^C
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  S0        8                  2.6

         2.215270071 seconds time elapsed

  root@...-ppc:~# perf stat -a -M CPI --metric-only --per-socket -I1000
  #           time socket cpus
       1.000411692 S0        8                  2.2
       2.001547952 S0        8                  3.4
       3.002446511 S0        8                  3.4
       4.003346157 S0        8                  4.0
       5.004245736 S0        8                  0.3

After:

  root@...-ppc:~# perf stat -a -M CPI --metric-only --per-socket
  ^C
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                               CPI
  S0        8                  2.1

  root@...-ppc:~# perf stat -a -M CPI --metric-only --per-socket -I1000
  #           time socket cpus                  CPI
       1.000415122 S0        8                  3.2
