x86/perf: Make sure to program the counter value for stopped events on migration
Both Mi Dapeng and Ian Rogers noted that not everything that sets HES_STOPPED is required to EF_UPDATE. Specifically the 'step 1' loop of rescheduling explicitly does EF_UPDATE to ensure the counter value is read. However, then 'step 2' simply leaves the new counter uninitialized when HES_STOPPED, even though, as noted above, the thing that stopped them might not be aware it needs to EF_RELOAD -- since it didn't EF_UPDATE on stop. One such location that is affected is throttling, throttle does pmu->stop(, 0); and unthrottle does pmu->start(, 0); possibly restarting an uninitialized counter.
