Thomas Falcon c40aa8d98d perf report: Fix sample number stats for branch entry mode
Currently, stats->nr_samples is incremented per entry in the branch stack
instead of per sample taken. As a result, statistics of samples taken
during perf record in --branch-filter or --branch-any mode does not
seem correct. Instead call hists__inc_nr_samples() for each sample taken
instead of for each entry in the branch stack.

Before:

$ ./perf record -e cycles:u -b -c 10000000000 ./tchain_edit
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.005 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
$ perf report -D | tail -n 16
Aggregated stats:
               TOTAL events:         16
                COMM events:          2  (12.5%)
                EXIT events:          1  ( 6.2%)
              SAMPLE events:          2  (12.5%)
               MMAP2 events:          2  (12.5%)
             KSYMBOL events:          1  ( 6.2%)
      FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 6.2%)
            ID_INDEX events:          1  ( 6.2%)
          THREAD_MAP events:          1  ( 6.2%)
             CPU_MAP events:          1  ( 6.2%)
        EVENT_UPDATE events:          2  (12.5%)
           TIME_CONV events:          1  ( 6.2%)
       FINISHED_INIT events:          1  ( 6.2%)
cpu_core/cycles/u stats:
              SAMPLE events:         64

After:

$ ./perf report -D | tail -n 16
Aggregated stats:
               TOTAL events:         16
                COMM events:          2  (12.5%)
                EXIT events:          1  ( 6.2%)
              SAMPLE events:          2  (12.5%)
               MMAP2 events:          2  (12.5%)
             KSYMBOL events:          1  ( 6.2%)
      FINISHED_ROUND events:          1  ( 6.2%)
            ID_INDEX events:          1  ( 6.2%)
          THREAD_MAP events:          1  ( 6.2%)
             CPU_MAP events:          1  ( 6.2%)
        EVENT_UPDATE events:          2  (12.5%)
           TIME_CONV events:          1  ( 6.2%)
       FINISHED_INIT events:          1  ( 6.2%)
cpu_core/cycles/u stats:
              SAMPLE events:          2

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
