Subject: [PATCH 45/46] perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timing after overflow

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

On some platforms, overflows will clear before MTC wraparound, and there
is no following TSC/TMA packet. In that case the previous TMA is valid.
Since there will be a valid TMA either way, stop setting 'have_tma' to
false upon overflow.
