ARM: 7355/1: perf: clear overflow flag when disabling counter on ARMv7 PMU
commit 99c1745b upstream. When disabling a counter on an ARMv7 PMU, we should also clear the overflow flag in case an overflow occurred whilst stopping the counter. This prevents a spurious overflow being picked up later and leading to either false accounting or a NULL dereference. Reported-by:Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
