Let's see interval 2.
006490373
perf-3696 1,749,936 cycles
perf-3696 1,484,582 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
insn per cycle = 1,484,582 / 1,749,936 = 0.85.
But now it's 0.28, that's not correct.
stat_config.stats[] records the per-thread runtime stat. But for
interval mode, it should be reset for each interval.
So now, with this patch,
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat --per-thread -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
1.
005818121 perf-8633 9,898,045 cycles
...

005818121 perf-8633 693,298 instructions # 0.07 insn per cycle
...
2.
007863743 perf-8633 1,551,619 cycles
...
2.
007863743 perf-8633 1,317,514 instructions # 0.85 insn per cycle
...
Let's check interval 2.
007863743.
insn per cycle = 1,317,514 / 1,551,619 = 0.85. It's correct.
This patch creates runtime_stat_reset, places it next to
untime_stat_new/runtime_stat_delete and moves all runtime_stat
functions before process_interval.
Committer testing:
After the patch:
# perf stat --per-thread -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2 |& grep sssd_nss-1130

011309774 sssd_nss-1130 56,585 cycles
