perf/x86/intel/pt: Use bitwise access for PERF_HES_STOPPED

The Intel PT driver reads and writes event->hw.state as a whole value,
assuming it is either 0 or PERF_HES_STOPPED. That is true today, but a
subsequent fix needs to also track an open AUX output buffer using the
PERF_HES_UPTODATE bit of the same field.

When more than one bit can be set, whole-value assignments would
overwrite the other bits and whole-value comparisons would fail to match.

Convert all accesses to set, clear and test the PERF_HES_STOPPED bit
individually, in preparation for that change.

No functional change intended: event->hw.state currently only ever
holds 0 or PERF_HES_STOPPED, so the bitwise forms are equivalent.
