[RFC/PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault in cumulative.callchain report

From: Jiri Olsa

heya,
not completely sure this is what we want to do, but have no
streght to dive into annotation code ;-)

thanks,
jirka

When cumulative callchain mode is on, we could get samples with
with no actual hits. This breaks the assumption of the annotation
code, that each sample has annotation counts allocated and leads
to segfault.

Fixing this by additional checks for annotation stats.
