perf stat: Do not print ratio when task-clock event is not counted

The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes
sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be
simply a (confusing)

# 0.000 M/sec

This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted.
Some test examples of before and after:

Before:

[lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1367818 branch-misses # 0.000 M/sec

1.001494325 seconds time elapsed

After (without task-clock):

[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1135044 branch-misses

1.001370775 seconds time elapsed

After (with task-clock):

[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

1070111 branch-misses # 0.534 M/sec
2002.730893 task-clock-msecs # 1.999 CPUs

1.001640292 seconds time elapsed
