perf stat: Clear sample_(type|period) for counting

Clear sample_(type|period) for counting, as it only confuses debug
output with unwanted sampling details:

Before:

  $ sudo perf stat -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' -vv ls
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             2
    size                             112
    config                           0x11
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   1
    sample_type                      TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    enable_on_exec                   1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

After:
  $ sudo perf stat -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' -vv ls
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             2
    size                             112
    config                           0x11
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    enable_on_exec                   1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...
