perf/x86: Fix low freqency setting issue
Perf doesn't work at low frequencies: $ perf record -e cpu_core/instructions/ppp -F 120 Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/instructions/ppp). "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information. The limit_period() check avoids a low sampling period on a counter. It doesn't intend to limit the frequency. The check in the x86_pmu_hw_config() should be limited to non-freq mode. The attr.sample_period and attr.sample_freq are union. The attr.sample_period should not be used to indicate the frequency mode.
