[ Upstream commit 8ce939a0fa194939cc1f92dbd8bc1a7806e7d40a ]
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.
