perf stat: Fix --no-scale
The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.
It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.
Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.
This patch:
- Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
- Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
- Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
- And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.
Before:
$ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
<not counted> cycles
0.000984154 seconds time elapsed
After:
$ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
706,070 cycles
0.001219821 seconds time elapsed
