perf stat: Use proper cpu for shadow stats

Currently perf stat shows some metrics (like IPC) for defined events.
But when no aggregation mode is used (-A option), it shows incorrect
values since it used a value from a different cpu.

Before:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      116,057,380      cycles
  CPU1       86,084,722      cycles
  CPU2       99,423,125      cycles
  CPU3       98,272,994      cycles
  CPU0       53,369,217      instructions      #    0.46  insn per cycle
  CPU1       33,378,058      instructions      #    0.29  insn per cycle
  CPU2       58,150,086      instructions      #    0.50  insn per cycle
  CPU3       40,029,703      instructions      #    0.34  insn per cycle

       1.001816971 seconds time elapsed

So the IPC for CPU1 should be 0.38 (= 33,378,058 / 86,084,722)
but it was 0.29 (= 33,378,058 / 116,057,380) and so on.

After:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1
