[PATCH v4 04/12] arm-cci: Fix the flags for pmu_start called from pmu_add

The cci PMU always reprograms the counter value in pmu->start()
irrespective of the mode it is called from, making sure that
the hwc->state is PERF_HES_UPTODATE.
When pmu->add() is called with PERF_EF_START, we invoke
pmu->start() with PERF_EF_RELOAD removing the PERF_EF_START.
This makes it impossible to detect where the pmu->start()
is called from, i.e, PERF_EF_START or a real PERF_EF_RELOAD.
This patch fixes the issue by, passing the right flags down
to the pmu->start() when called from pmu->add().
