fix(guardrails): gate during_call mixed-violation masking behind an actual PII check

The during_call branch for a mixed violation under on_flagged=inject_system_message
unconditionally masked and reassigned data["messages"], even for a pure
prompt-injection violation with zero PII, unlike async_pre_call_hook which
already gates the same call behind _breakdown_has_pii_violation. The
unconditional reassignment touched shared request state during a hook
documented as racing with the concurrent LLM dispatch, for no reason when
there was nothing to mask.

Bugbot finding on BerriAI/litellm#34940: unlike async_pre_call_hook (gated
behind _breakdown_has_pii_violation), the during_call mixed-violation branch
unconditionally called _mask_pii_in_messages + the preserving-fields merge
even for a violation with zero PII, rebuilding and reassigning
data["messages"] to a new list object for no reason during a hook the code
itself documents as racing with the concurrent LLM dispatch. A pure
prompt-injection violation (no PII at all) must leave the messages list
object untouched, not just content-equal.
