[PATCH V2 1/1] perf hists: clear dummy entry accumulated period

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

The accumulated period for dummy entry should also be 0.
Otherwise, the total overhead could be overcounted.
[perf]$ perf record -e '{LLC-load-misses,cpu/instructions/}'
--call-graph=lbr ./tchain
[perf]$ perf report --stdio
 # To display the perf.data header info, please use
 --header/--header-only options.
 #
 #
 # Total Lost Samples: 0
 #
 # Samples: 21K of event 'anon group { LLC-load-misses,
cpu/instructions/
 }'
 # Event count (approx.): 16313667937
 #
 #         Children              Self  Command      Shared Object

Sorry for the noise which is brought by V1.
Changes since V1:
 - check he->stat_acc. Because it only be available when option children is set
