min(pmpt->perf.state_count, op->u.getpx.total) == op->u.getpx.total can
be expressed differently as pmpt->perf.state_count >= op->u.getpx.total.
Copying when the two are equal is fine; (partial) copying when the state
count is larger than the number of array elements that a buffer was
allocated to hold is what - as per the comment - we mean to avoid. Drop
the use of min() again, but retain its effect for the subsequent copying
from pxpt->u.pt.
