[PATCH] selftests/powerpc: Purge extra count_pmc() calls of ebb selftests

An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above
the upper limit error due to the extra value on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count.

Furthermore, this extra count is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on
the output of the cycle test (as well as on pmc56_overflow_test):

==========
   ...
   [21]: counter = 8
   [22]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [23]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
   [24]: counter = 9
   [25]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [26]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
   [27]: counter = 10
   [28]: register SPRN_MMCR0 = 0x0000000080000080
   [29]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x0000000080000004
>> [30]: register SPRN_PMC1  = 0x000000004000051e
PMC1 count (0x280000546) above upper limit 0x2800003e8 (+0x15e)
[FAIL] Test FAILED on line 52
failure: cycles
