[PATCH 2/3] perf-stat: fix +- nan% in -Aa runs

[Jim Cromie]

without this patch, I get computations like this:

[jimc@groucho perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -r3 -Aa  perl -e '$i++ for 1..100000'

 Performance counter stats for 'perl -e $i++ for 1..100000' (3 runs):

CPU0             12.391883 task-clock-msecs         #      0.966 CPUs    ( +-    -nan% )
CPU1             12.446571 task-clock-msecs         #      0.970 CPUs    ( +-    -nan% )
CPU2             12.408014 task-clock-msecs         #      0.967 CPUs    ( +-    -nan% )
CPU3             12.422264 task-clock-msecs         #      0.968 CPUs    ( +-    -nan% )

I couldnt see anything wrong in the caller, so fixed it in stddev_stats()
