scripts/kvm/kvm_stat: Cleanup and pre-init perf_event_attr

All initializations of the ctypes struct that don't need additional
information were moved to its init method. The unneeded
initializations for sample_type and sample_period were removed as they
do not affect the counters that are read.

This improves readability of the setup_event_attribute by halfing its
LOC.
