perf stat: Fix per-pkg event reporting bug

Browse source 
Per-pkg events need to be captured once per processor socket. The code
in check_per_pkg() ensures only one value per processor package is used.
However there is a problem with this function in case the first CPU of
the package does not measure anything for the per-pkg event, but other
CPUs do.

Consider the following:

  $ create cgroup FOO; echo $$ >FOO/tasks; taskset -c 1 noploop &
  $ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ -G FOO sleep 100
    1.00000 <not counted> Bytes intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/  FOO

The reason for this is that CPU0 in the cgroup has nothing running on it.
Yet check_per_plg() will mark socket0 as processed and no other event
value will be considered for the socket.

This patch fixes the problem by having check_per_pkg() only consider
events which actually ran.
