[PATCH v3 1/3] drivers/perf: riscv: Do not update the event data if uptodate

In case of an counter overflow, the event data may get corrupted
if called from an external overflow handler. This happens because
we can't update the counter without starting it when SBI PMU
extension is in use. However, the prev_count has been already
updated at the first pass while the counter value is still the
old one.

The solution is simple where we don't need to update it again
if it is already updated which can be detected using hwc state.

Fixes: a8625217a054 ("drivers/perf: riscv: Implement SBI PMU snapshot function")
