perf stat: Avoid merging/aggregating metric counts twice
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The added perf_stat_merge_counters combines uncore counters. When
metrics are enabled, the counts are merged into a metric_leader via the
stat-shadow saved_value logic. As the leader now is passed an aggregated
count, it leads to all counters being added together twice and counts
appearing approximately doubled in metrics.

This change disables the saved_value merging of counts for evsels that
are merged. It is recommended that later changes remove the saved_value
entirely as the two layers of aggregation in the code is confusing.

Fixes: 942c559 ("perf stat: Add perf_stat_merge_counters()")
