/**
 * likely_stats - return description of abused likely()/unlikely()
 * @min_hits: minimum number of hits
 * @percent: maximum percentage correct
 *
 * When CCAN_LIKELY_DEBUG is defined, likely() and unlikely() trace their
 * results: this causes a significant slowdown, but allows analysis of
 * whether the branches are labelled correctly.
 *
 * This function returns a malloc'ed description of the least-correct
 * usage of likely() or unlikely().  It ignores places which have been
 * called less than @min_hits times, and those which were predicted
 * correctly more than @percent of the time.  It returns NULL when
 * nothing meets those criteria.
 *
 * Note that this call is destructive; the returned offender is
 * removed from the trace so that the next call to likely_stats() will
 * return the next-worst likely()/unlikely() usage.
 *
 * Example:
 *	// Print every place hit more than twice which was wrong > 5%.
 *	static void report_stats(void)
 *	{
 *	#ifdef CCAN_LIKELY_DEBUG
 *		const char *bad;
 *
 *		while ((bad = likely_stats(2, 95)) != NULL) {
