[PATCH v6 18/18] libcamera: software_isp: Update black level only on exposure changes

[Milan Zamazal]

The black level is likely to get updated, if ever, only after exposure
or gain changes.  Don't compute its possible updates if exposure and
gain are unchanged.

It's probably not worth trying to implement something more
sophisticated.  Better to spend the effort on supporting tuning files.
