perf intel-pt: Fix snapshot overlap detection decoder errors
commit 810c398bc09b2f2dfde52a7d2483a710612c5fb8 upstream. Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot mode. Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap. The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data. Make that change.
