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. The event state in the overflow handler is updated in the following patch. Thus, this fix can't be backported to kernel version where overflow support was added.
