Subject: [PATCH 1/3] lparstat: Fix negative values seen while running lparstat
 with -E option

Negative values are seen while running lparstat with -E option.
This is because delta_purr value is less than delta_idle_purr.
Given that these values are read from different sources, a
small variation in the values is possible. So, in such cases,
round down delta_idle_purr to delta_purr.
