[PATCH v2] arm64/mpam: Clean MBWU monitor overflow bit

The MSMON_MBWU register accumulates counts monotonically forward and
would not automatically cleared to zero on overflow. The overflow portion
is exactly what mpam_msmon_overflow_val() computes, there is no need to
additionally subtract mbwu_state->prev_val.

Before invoking write_msmon_ctl_flt_vals(), the overflow bit of the
MSMON_MBWU register must first be read to prevent it from being
inadvertently cleared by the write operation.

Finally, use the overflow bit instead of relying on counter wrap-around
to determine whether an overflow has occurred, that avoids the case where
a wrap-around (now > prev_val) is overlooked. So with this, prev_val no
longer has any use and remove it.
