Actually it does. We need to assign pmc->counter_val here because
shared memory needs to be updated
with the actual counter val. However, we should do it if the snapshot
is enabled only.
Otherwise, it will be updated in pmu_ctr_read anyways. I have fixed
that and moved this to the if condition with bSnapshot
below.

This is not needed as we would have already stopped when started = true.
