perf stat: Fix a segmentation fault when using repeat forever

Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.

Without fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
  #           time             counts unit events
       5.000211692  3,13,89,82,34,157      cycles
      10.000380119  1,53,98,52,22,294      cycles
      10.040467280       17,16,79,265      cycles
  Segmentation fault

This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..)  if interval is set.

With fix:

  # perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
   #           time             counts unit events
       5.019866622  3,15,14,43,08,697      cycles
      10.039865756  3,15,16,31,95,261      cycles
      10.059950628     1,26,05,47,158      cycles
       5.009902655  3,14,52,62,33,932      cycles
      10.019880228  3,14,52,22,89,154      cycles
      10.030543876       66,90,18,333      cycles
       5.009848281  3,14,51,98,25,437      cycles
      10.029854402  3,15,14,93,04,918      cycles
       5.009834177  3,14,51,95,92,316      cycles

Committer notes:

Did the 'git bisect' to find the cset introducing the problem to add the
Fixes tag below, and at that time the problem reproduced as:

  (gdb) run stat -r0 -I500 sleep 1
  <SNIP>
  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Mostly the same as just before this patch:
