perf: Avoid the read if the count is already updated



The event may have been updated in the PMU-specific implementation,
e.g., Intel PEBS counters snapshotting. The common code should not
read and overwrite the value.

The PERF_SAMPLE_READ in the data->sample_type can be used to detect
whether the PMU-specific value is available. If yes, avoid the
pmu->read() in the common code. Add a new flag, skip_read, to track the
case.

Factor out a perf_pmu_read() to clean up the code.
