percpu: do not trust hint starts when they are not set
contig_hint_start can be trusted outside the hint update function since it will be updated everytime contig_hint is broken. On the other hand, scan_hint_start might still be invalid anywhere in the code due to the broken scan_hint not being updated promptly. If those starts are trusted when they are not set, it could lead to false invalidation or update of the hints.
