perf/x86: Implement 64-bit counter support for IBS

Browse source

This patch implements 64 bit counter support for IBS. The
sampling period is no longer limited to the hw counter width.

The functions perf_event_set_period() and
perf_event_try_update() can be used as generic functions. They
can replace similar code that is duplicate across architectures.
