perf stat: Fix interval output values

We broke interval data displays with commit:

  3f416f22d1e2 ("perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats")

This commit removed stats cleaning, which is important for '-r' option
to carry counters data over the whole run. But it's necessary to clean
it for interval mode, otherwise the displayed value is avg of all
previous values.

Before:
  $ perf stat -e cycles -a -I 1000 record
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791        107,823,524      cycles

  $ perf stat report
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791         91,519,906      cycles

Now:
  $ perf stat report
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000240796         75,216,287      cycles
       2.000512791        107,823,524      cycles

Notice the second value being bigger (91,.. < 107,..).

This could be easily verified by using perf script which displays raw
stat data:

  $ perf script
  CPU  THREAD       VAL         ENA         RUN        TIME EVENT
    0      -1  23855779  1000209530  1000209530  1000240796 cycles
    1      -1  33340397  1000224964  1000224964  1000240796 cycles
    2      -1  15835415  1000226695  1000226695  1000240796 cycles
    3      -1   2184696  1000228245  1000228245  1000240796 cycles
    0      -1  97014312  2000514533  2000514533  2000512791 cycles
    1      -1  46121497  2000543795  2000543795  2000512791 cycles
    2      -1  32269530  2000543566  2000543566  2000512791 cycles
    3      -1   7634472  2000544108  2000544108  2000512791 cycles

The sum of the first 4 values is the first interval aggregated value:

  23855779 + 33340397 + 15835415 + 2184696 = 75,216,287

The sum of the second 4 values minus first value is the second interval
aggregated value:

  97014312 + 46121497 + 32269530 + 7634472 - 75216287 = 107,823,524
