Peter Zijlstra abd5071394 perf: Reimplement frequency driven sampling ...

There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all()
or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles.

In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a
hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and
overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot.

The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division.
The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits
fashion, taking care to balance the terms while truncating.

This version does not generate that sampling artefact.
