Please add the test cycle number in the average test result.

Since Jasmine has submitted the TBench and Gitsource benchmark test suite
into amd-pstate-ut test module, I suggest to align the test script and make
sure everybody can use that script to get the similar accurate performance
per watt data even on the EPP mode.
