While updating Perf to work with Python3 and Python2 I noticed that the 
stat-cpi script was dumping core.

$ perf  stat -e cycles,instructions record -o /tmp/perf.data /bin/false

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/false':

           802,148      cycles

           604,622      instructions                                                       802,148      cycles
           604,622      instructions

       0.001445842 seconds time elapsed

$ perf script -i /tmp/perf.data -s scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The issue is that since 1fcd03946b52 perf_stat__update_shadow_stats now calls
update_runtime_stat passing rt_stat rather than calling update_stats but
perf_stat__init_shadow_stats has never been called to initialize rt_stat in
the script path processing recorded stat data.

Since I can't see any reason why perf_stat__init_shadow_stats() is presently
initialized like it is in builtin-script.c::perf_sample__fprint_metric()
[4bd1bef8bba2f] I'm proposing it instead be initialized once in __cmd_script

Fixes: 1fcd03946b52 ("perf stat: Update per-thread shadow stats")
