[PATCH 4/4] perf tools: callchain: Display amount of ignored chains in fractal mode

When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we ignore them
and the end result only shows entries that have an upper percentage
than the filter threshold. It seems then that we have an imbalance in
the percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't reach
100%.

Fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been filtered but
without more detail than their amount in each branches.
Example while filtering below 50%:

7.73% [k] delay_tsc
|
|--98.22%-- __const_udelay
| |
| |--86.37%-- ath5k_hw_register_timeout
| | ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration
| | ath5k_hw_reset
| | ath5k_reset
| | ath5k_config
| | ieee80211_hw_config
| | |
| | |--88.53%-- ieee80211_scan_work
| | | worker_thread
| | | kthread
| | | child_rip
| | --11.47%-- [...]
| --13.63%-- [...]
--1.78%-- [...]
