This seemed familiar, so I dug up some prior discussion here:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1484704915.2096.16.camel@mattmccutchen.net/
We didn't come to a resolution there, but there is a patch to play with,
and I think nobody was opposed to the notion that with the right
code change we could be suppressing these whitespace-only stat lines
