perf stat: Reset previous counts on repeat with interval

[ Upstream commit b63fd11cced17fcb8e133def29001b0f6aaa5e06 ]

When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong
values for events.

The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and
subsequent repetitions.

Without the fix:

  # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5

     2.000282489                 53      faults

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.

The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.

On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.

Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.

Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.

With the fix:

  # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5

Committer notes:

This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so
that automatic scripts can pick this up.
