perf: Fix 0 count issue of cpu-clock

Currently cpu-clock event always returns 0 count, e.g.,

perf stat -e cpu-clock -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
                 0      cpu-clock                        #    0.000 CPUs utilized
       1.002308394 seconds time elapsed

The root cause is the commit 'bc4394e5e79c ("perf: Fix the throttle
 error of some clock events")' adds PERF_EF_UPDATE flag check before
calling cpu_clock_event_update() to update the count, however the
PERF_EF_UPDATE flag is never set when the cpu-clock event is stopped in
counting mode (pmu->dev() -> cpu_clock_event_del() ->
cpu_clock_event_stop()). This leads to the cpu-clock event count is
never updated.

To fix this issue, force to set PERF_EF_UPDATE flag for cpu-clock event
just like what task-clock does.
