[PATCH 2/3] perf script: Fix off by one in brstackinsn IPC computation

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When we hit the end of a program block, need to count the last instruction
too for the IPC computation. This caused large errors for small blocks.

% perf script -b ls / > /dev/null

Before:

% perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed
...
00007f94c9ac70d8 jz 0x7f94c9ac70e3 # PRED 3 cycles [36] 4.33 IPC
00007f94c9ac70e3 testb $0x20, 0x31d(%rbx)
00007f94c9ac70ea jnz 0x7f94c9ac70b0
00007f94c9ac70ec testb $0x8, 0x205ad(%rip)
00007f94c9ac70f3 jz 0x7f94c9ac6ff0 # PRED 1 cycles [37] 3.00 IPC

After:

% perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed
...
00007f94c9ac70d8 jz 0x7f94c9ac70e3 # PRED 3 cycles [15] 4.67 IPC
00007f94c9ac70e3 testb $0x20, 0x31d(%rbx)
00007f94c9ac70ea jnz 0x7f94c9ac70b0
00007f94c9ac70ec testb $0x8, 0x205ad(%rip)
00007f94c9ac70f3 jz 0x7f94c9ac6ff0 # PRED 1 cycles [16] 4.00 IPC
