Stephane Eranian fad1f1e7de perf script: Remove extraneous newline in perf_sample__fprintf_regs()
When printing iregs, there was a double newline printed because
perf_sample__fprintf_regs() was printing its own and then at the end of
all fields, perf script was adding one.  This was causing blank line in
the output:

Before:

  $ perf script -Fip,iregs
             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340

             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a9340    DI:0x4a8340

             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340

             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a9340    DI:0x4a8340

After:

  $ perf script -Fip,iregs
             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340
             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a9340    DI:0x4a8340
             401b8d ABI:2    DX:0x100    SI:0x4a8340    DI:0x4a9340

Committer testing:

First we need to figure out how to request that registers be recorded,
so we use:

  # perf record -h reg

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
                            sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
          --buildid-all     Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
          --user-regs[=<any register>]
                            sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '--user-regs=?' to list register names

  #

Ok, now lets ask for them all:

  # perf record -a --intr-regs --user-regs sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.105 MB perf.data (2760 samples) ]
  #

Lets look at the first 6 output lines:

To see it more clearly, lets get just two of those registers by sample:

  # perf record -a --intr-regs=ax,bx --user-regs=cx,dx sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.502 MB perf.data (1653 samples) ]
  #

Extra info, lets see what gets setup in that 'struct perf_event_attr':

  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_USER|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_user: 0xc, sample_regs_intr: 0x3
  #

Cook, some PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER|PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR +
attr.sample_regs_user and attr.sample_regs_intr register masks, now lets
see if those newlines are gone in a more compact fashion:
