[PATCH] perf stat: Disable NMI watchdog message on hybrid

[Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>]

If we run a single workload that only runs on big core, there is always a
ugly message about disabling the NMI watchdog because the atom is not
counted.

Before:

  # perf stat ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

                0.94 msec task-clock                #    0.620 CPUs utilized
                   0      context-switches          #    0.000 /sec
                   0      cpu-migrations            #    0.000 /sec
                 111      page-faults               #  118.603 K/sec
           3,111,368      cpu_core/cycles/          #    3.324 G/sec
       <not counted>      cpu_atom/cycles/                                              (0.00%)
           2,965,942      cpu_core/instructions/    #    3.169 G/sec
       <not counted>      cpu_atom/instructions/                                        (0.00%)
             596,579      cpu_core/branches/        #  637.442 M/sec
       <not counted>      cpu_atom/branches/                                            (0.00%)
              15,744      cpu_core/branch-misses/   #   16.822 M/sec
       <not counted>      cpu_atom/branch-misses/                                       (0.00%)

         0.001509271 seconds time elapsed

         0.001572000 seconds user
         0.000000000 seconds sys

  Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
          echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
          perf stat ...
          echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

Now we disable the NMI watchdog message on hybrid, otherwise there
are too many false positives.

After:

  # perf stat ls
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

                2.32 msec task-clock                #    0.712 CPUs utilized
