perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval mode

For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
interval.

See the following examples:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000422803            764,809      inst_retired.any          #      2.9 CPI
       1.000422803          2,234,932      cycles
       2.001464585          1,960,061      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
       2.001464585          4,022,591      cycles

The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000429493          2,869,311      cycles
       1.000429493            816,875      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
       2.001516426          9,260,973      cycles
       2.001516426          5,250,634      instructions              #    0.87  insn per cycle

The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
0.57).

The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.

  perf_stat_process_counter()
  {
          if (config->interval)
                  init_stats(ps->res_stats);
  }

So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.

This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.

With this patch:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000420924          2,408,818      inst_retired.any          #      2.1 CPI
       1.000420924          5,010,111      cycles
       2.001448579          2,798,407      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
       2.001448579          4,599,861      cycles

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000428555          2,769,714      cycles
       1.000428555            774,462      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
       2.001471562          3,595,904      cycles
       2.001471562          1,243,703      instructions              #    0.35  insn per cycle

Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
generated in this interval.
