Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] perf tool_pmu: Use old_count when computing count
 values for time events

When running in interval mode every third count of a time event isn't
showing properly:
```
$ perf stat -e duration_time -a -I 1000
     1.001082862      1,002,290,425      duration_time
     2.004264262      1,003,183,516      duration_time
     3.007381401      <not counted>      duration_time
     4.011160141      1,003,705,631      duration_time
     5.014515385      1,003,290,110      duration_time
     6.018539680      <not counted>      duration_time
     7.022065321      1,003,591,720      duration_time
```
The regression came in with a different fix, found through bisection,
commit 68cb1567439f ("perf tool_pmu: Fix aggregation on
duration_time"). The issue is caused by the enabled and running time
of the event matching the old_count's and creating a delta of 0, which
is indicative of an error.
