Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] perf stat: Save aggr value to first member of prev_raw_counts

To collect the overall statistics for interval mode, we copy the
counts from evsel->prev_raw_counts to evsel->counts.

For AGGR_GLOBAL mode, because the perf_stat_process_counter creates
aggr values from per cpu values, but the per cpu values are 0,
so the calculated aggr values will be always 0.

This patch uses a trick that saves the previous aggr value to
the first member of perf_counts, then aggr calculation in
process_counter_values can work correctly for AGGR_GLOBAL.

much better, please put some comments in here explaning wha
is this for, because it's not obvious ;-)
