Currently we set the period and record it as the initial value of the
counter without checking it's set to the hardware successfully or not.
However the counter maybe unwritable if the target event is unsupported
by the device. In such case we will pass user a wrong count:
[start counts when setting the period]
hwc->prev_count = 0x8000000000000000
device.counter_value = 0 // the counter is not set as the period
[when user reads the counter]
event->count = device.counter_value - hwc->prev_count
= 0x8000000000000000 // wrong. should be 0.
Fix this by record the hardware counter counts correctly when setting
the period.
