Jin Yao 493be70ac3 perf stat: Disable the NMI watchdog message on hybrid
If we run a single workload that only runs on big core, there is always
a ugly message about disabling the NMI watchdog because the atom is not
counted.

Before:

  # ./perf stat true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

                0.43 msec task-clock                #    0.396 CPUs utilized

  Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
          echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
          perf stat ...
          echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

  # ./perf stat -e '{cpu_atom/cycles/,msr/tsc/}' true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

       <not counted>      cpu_atom/cycles/                                              (0.00%)
       <not counted>      msr/tsc/                                                      (0.00%)

         0.001904106 seconds time elapsed

         0.001947000 seconds user
         0.000000000 seconds sys

  Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
          echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
          perf stat ...
          echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.

Now we disable the NMI watchdog message on hybrid, otherwise there
are too many false positives.

After:

  # ./perf stat true
