Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] perf stat: Avoid metric-only segv

Cycles is recognized as part of a hard coded metric in stat-shadow.c,
it may call print_metric_only with a NULL fmt string leading to a
segfault. Handle the NULL fmt explicitly.

Fixes: 088519f318be ("perf stat: Move the display functions to stat-display.c")
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@...gle.com>
---
Note, the fixes tag is to a refactor that moved the function. The bug
existed before this.
