perf stat: Make --per-thread update shadow stats to show metrics

We should support this because it would allow easily to collect metrics
for different threads in applications.

Original patch from posted by Jin Yao in here [1].

1. Current output, for example:

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread -p 21623
^C
 Performance counter stats for process id '21623':

          vmstat-21623              0.517479      task-clock (msec)         #    0.000 CPUs utilized
          vmstat-21623                     1      context-switches
          vmstat-21623                     0      cpu-migrations
          vmstat-21623                     0      page-faults
          vmstat-21623               461,306      cycles
          vmstat-21623               630,724      instructions
          vmstat-21623               136,265      branches
          vmstat-21623                 2,520      branch-misses

       1.444020756 seconds time elapsed

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread --metrics ipc -p 21623
^C
 Performance counter stats for process id '21623':

          vmstat-21623               631,185      inst_retired.any
          vmstat-21623               605,893      cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

       1.415679293 seconds time elapsed

2. With this patch, the result would be:

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread -p 21623
^C
 Performance counter stats for process id '21623':

          vmstat-21623              0.533759      task-clock (msec)         #    0.000 CPUs utilized

          vmstat-21623                     0      cpu-migrations            #    0.000 K/sec
          vmstat-21623                     0      page-faults               #    0.000 K/sec
