intel/perf: simplify the processing of OA reports

This is a more accurate description of what happens in processing the
OA reports.

Previously we only had a somewhat difficult to parse state machine
tracking the context ID.

What we really only need to do to decide if the delta between 2
reports (r0 & r1) should be accumulated in the query result is :

   * whether the r0 is tagged with the context ID relevant to us

   * if r0 is not tagged with our context ID and r1 is: does r0 have a
     invalid context id? If not then we're in a case where i915 has
     resubmitted the same context for execution through the execlist
     submission port
