Printing '+' prefix is the original behavior.

Without this patch,

root@kbl-ppc:# ./perf stat -e +power/energy-pkg/ -a -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

2.02 Joules +power/energy-pkg/

1.000859434 seconds time elapsed

The '+' prefix is printed. So I finally decide not to remove the '+' prefix in order to keep
original behavior.

Thanks
Jin Yao
