Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Fix duration_time value for higher intervals

Joakim reported wrong duration_time value for interval bigger
than 4000 [1].

The problem is in the interval value we pass to update_stats
function, which is typed as 'unsigned int' and overflows when
we get over 2^32 (happens between intervals 4000 and 5000).

Retyping the passed value to unsigned long long.
