Subject: [PATCH] perf, tool: Fix the array pointer to follow event data properly

Currently we dont update the 'array' pointer properly after
processing the RAW data. This way perf might report wrong data
for branch stack if it is used along with tracepoint sample.

I'm not sure tracepoint could be connected with branch stack,
but I think the array pointer should have correct value after
each sample processing.
