perf stat: Also hide metric-units from JSON when event didn't run
We decided to hide NULL metric-units rather than showing it as "(null)" when a dependent event for a metric doesn't exist. But on hybrid systems if the process doesn't hit a PMU you get an empty string metric unit instead. To make it consistent change all empty strings to NULL. Note that metric-threshold is already hidden in this case without this change. Where a process only runs on cpu_core and never hits cpu_atom: Before: $ perf stat -j -- true ... {"counter-value" : "<not counted>", "unit" : "", "event" : "cpu_atom/branch-misses/", "event-runtime" : 0, "pcnt-running" : 0.00, "metric-value" : "0.000000", "metric-unit" : ""} {"counter-value" : "6326.000000", "unit" : "", "event" : "cpu_core/branch-misses/", "event-runtime" : 293786, "pcnt-running" : 100.00, "metric-value" : "3.553394", "metric-unit" : "of all branches", "metric-threshold" : "good"} ... After: ... {"counter-value" : "<not counted>", "unit" : "", "event" : "cpu_atom/branch-misses/", "event-runtime" : 0, "pcnt-running" : 0.00} {"counter-value" : "5778.000000", "unit" : "", "event" : "cpu_core/branch-misses/", "event-runtime" : 282240, "pcnt-running" : 100.00, "metric-value" : "3.226797", "metric-unit" : "of all branches", "metric-threshold" : "good"} ...
