perf stat: Change noise calculation to use stddev

The current noise computation does:

 \Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5

Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the
complete sample set available to post-process.

Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be
done by keeping a two sums:

 stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 )

For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.
