In __symbol__account_cycles,
ch[offset].num_aggr++;
ch[offset].cycles_aggr += cycles;

In annotation__compute_ipc,
al = notes->offsets[offset];
al->cycles = ch->cycles_aggr / ch->num_aggr;

So the num_aggr and cycles_aggr are both increased n times, then the
final result is the same.

Sure, let me have a try.
