perf report: Fix percent display in callchains on --stdio



When there's only a single callchain, perf doesn't print its percentage
in front of the symbols.  This is because it assumes that the percentage
is same as parents.  But if a percent limit is applied, it's possible
that there are actually a couple of child nodes but only one of them is
shown.  In this case it should display the percent to prevent
misunderstanding of its percentage is same as the parent's.

For example, let's see the following callchain.

  $ perf report -s comm --percent-limit 0.01 --stdio
  ...
     9.95%  swapper
            |
            |--7.57%--intel_idle
            |          cpuidle_enter_state
            |          cpuidle_enter
            |          call_cpuidle
            |          cpu_startup_entry
            |          |
            |          |--4.89%--start_secondary
            |          |
            |           --2.68%--rest_init
            |                     start_kernel
            |                     x86_64_start_reservations
            |                     x86_64_start_kernel
	    |
	    |--0.15%--__schedule
	    |          |
	    |          |--0.13%--schedule
	    |          |          schedule_preempt_disable
	    |          |          cpu_startup_entry
            |          |          |
            |          |          |--0.09%--start_secondary
            |          |          |
            |          |           --0.04%--rest_init
            |          |                     start_kernel
            |          |                     x86_64_start_reservations
            |          |                     x86_64_start_kernel
            |          |
            |           --0.01%--schedule_preempt_disabled
            |                     cpu_startup_entry
  ...

Current code omits the percent if 'intel_idle' becomes the only node
when percent limit is set to 0.5%, its percent is not 9.95% but users
will assume it incorrectly.

Before:

  $ perf report --percent-limit 0.5 --stdio
  ...
     9.95%  swapper
            |
            ---intel_idle
               cpuidle_enter_state
               cpuidle_enter
               call_cpuidle
               cpu_startup_entry
               |
               |--4.89%--start_secondary
               |
                --2.68%--rest_init
                          start_kernel
                          x86_64_start_reservations
                          x86_64_start_kernel

After:

  $ perf report --percent-limit 0.5 --stdio
  ...
     9.95%  swapper
            |
             --7.57%--intel_idle
                       cpuidle_enter_state
                       cpuidle_enter
                       call_cpuidle
                       cpu_startup_entry
                       |
                       |--4.89%--start_secondary
                       |
                        --2.68%--rest_init
                                  start_kernel
                                  x86_64_start_reservations
                                  x86_64_start_kernel
