Only put the frontend/backend stalled cycles into the default perf stat
events when the CPU actually supports them.

This avoids empty columns with --metric-only on newer Intel CPUs.

Committer note:

Before:

  $ perf stat ls

    Performance counter stats for 'ls':

          1.080893     task-clock (msec)      #    0.619 CPUs utilized
