[PATCH 15/15] perf stat: Tidy up JSON metric-only output when no metrics

[Namhyung Kim]

It printed empty strings for each metric.  I guess it's needed for CSV
output to match the column number.  We could just ignore the empty
metrics in JSON but it ended up with a broken JSON object with a
trailing comma.

So I added a dummy '"metric-value" : "none"' part.  To do that, it
needs to pass struct outstate to print_metric_end() to check if any
metric value is printed or not.

Before:
  # perf stat -aj --metric-only --per-socket --for-each-cgroup system.slice true
  {"socket" : "S0", "cpu-count" : 8, "cgroup" : "system.slice", "" : "", "" : "", "" : "", "" : "", "" : "", "" : "", "" : "", "" : ""}

After:
  # perf stat -aj --metric-only --per-socket --for-each-cgroup system.slice true
  {"socket" : "S0", "cpu-count" : 8, "cgroup" : "system.slice", "metric-value" : "none"}
