perf stat: Fix a segmentation fault when using repeat forever

commit 443f2d5 upstream.

Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.

Without fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
  #           time             counts unit events
       5.000211692  3,13,89,82,34,157      cycles
      10.000380119  1,53,98,52,22,294      cycles
      10.040467280       17,16,79,265      cycles
  Segmentation fault

This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..)  if interval is set.

With fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
   #           time             counts unit events
       5.019866622  3,15,14,43,08,697      cycles
      10.039865756  3,15,16,31,95,261      cycles
      10.059950628     1,26,05,47,158      cycles

      10.030543876       66,90,18,333      cycles
       5.009848281  3,14,51,98,25,437      cycles

Committer notes:

Did the 'git bisect' to find the cset introducing the problem to add the
Fixes tag below, and at that time the problem reproduced as:

  (gdb) run stat -r0 -I500 sleep 1
