[PATCH] timer stats: fix quick check optimization

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>

git commit 507e1231 "timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid
function calls" added one wrong check so that one unnecessary function call
isn't elimated.
time_stats_account_hrtimer() checks if timer->start_pid isn't initialized
in order to find out if timer_stats_update_stats() should be called.
However start_pid is initialized with -1 instead of 0, so that the function
call always happens.
Check timer->start_site like in timer_stats_account_timer() to fix this.
