Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] tools/tracing/rtla: osnoise_hist: use total duration for average calculation

Sampled durations must be weighted by observed quantity, to arrive at a correct
average duration value.

Perform calculation of total duration by summing (duration * count).

Fixes: 829a6c0b5698 ("rtla/osnoise: Add the hist mode")
