[PATCH] lib: sbi_hart: Reset mhpmcounter after probing its bits

Writting mhpmcounter3 (and 3H) to determine the allowed bit width
has a side effect: the counter starts counting.

Explicitly clear the counter right after the probe so the probing
writes do not leave any persistent hardware side effect.
