perf/x86/amd/uncore: Use hrtimer for handling overflows

Uncore counters do not provide mechanisms like interrupts to report
overflows and the accumulated user-visible count is incorrect if there
is more than one overflow between two successive read requests for the
same event because the value of prev_count goes out-of-date for
calculating the correct delta.

To avoid this, start a hrtimer to periodically initiate a pmu->read() of
the active counters for keeping prev_count up-to-date. It should be
noted that the hrtimer duration should be lesser than the shortest time
it takes for a counter to overflow for this approach to be effective.
