Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] perf stat: Fix wrong per-thread runtime stat for interval mode

root@...-ppc:~# perf stat --per-thread -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
     1.004171683             perf-3696              8,747,311      cycles
        ...
     1.004171683             perf-3696                691,730      instructions              #    0.08  insn per cycle
        ...
     2.006490373             perf-3696              1,749,936      cycles
        ...
     2.006490373             perf-3696              1,484,582      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
        ...

Let's see interval 2.006490373

perf-3696              1,749,936      cycles
perf-3696              1,484,582      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle

insn per cycle = 1,484,582 / 1,749,936 = 0.85.
But now it's 0.28, that's not correct.

stat_config.stats[] records the per-thread runtime stat. But for interval
mode, it should be reset for each interval.

So now, with this patch,

root@...-ppc:~# perf stat --per-thread -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
     1.005818121             perf-8633              9,898,045      cycles
        ...
     1.005818121             perf-8633                693,298      instructions              #    0.07  insn per cycle
        ...
     2.007863743             perf-8633              1,551,619      cycles
        ...
     2.007863743             perf-8633              1,317,514      instructions              #    0.85  insn per cycle
        ...

Let's check interval 2.007863743.

insn per cycle = 1,317,514 / 1,551,619 = 0.85. It's correct.

This patch creates runtime_stat_reset, places it next to
untime_stat_new/runtime_stat_delete and moves all runtime_stat
functions before process_interval.

 v4:
 ---
 Create runtime_stat_reset.
