[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/perf: Update prev_count of event to get accurate values

[Gautam Menghani]

When vpa_pmu_read() is called twice while a process is running on a cpu,
the "event->hw.prev_count" variable returns a stale value on the 2nd
read which results in a larger value getting added to event->count.

Fix this by updating the event->hw.prev_count every time vpa_pmu_read()
is called.
