Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Fix the hard-coded metrics calculation on the hybrid

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

The hard-coded metrics is wrongly calculated on the hybrid machine.

$ perf stat -e cycles,instructions -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        18,205,487      cpu_atom/cycles/
         9,733,603      cpu_core/cycles/
         9,423,111      cpu_atom/instructions/     #  0.52  insn per cycle
         4,268,965      cpu_core/instructions/     #  0.23  insn per cycle

The insn per cycle for cpu_core should be 4,268,965 / 9,733,603 = 0.44.

When finding the metric events, the find_stat() doesn't take the PMU
type into account. The cpu_atom/cycles/ is wrongly used to calculate
the IPC of the cpu_core.

Fixes: 0a57b910807a ("perf stat: Use counts rather than saved_value")
