s390/cpum_sf: Adjust sampling interval to avoid hitting sample limits

[ Upstream commit 39d4a501a9ef55c57b51e3ef07fc2aeed7f30b3b ]

Function perf_event_ever_overflow() and perf_event_account_interrupt()
are called every time samples are processed by the interrupt handler.
However function perf_event_account_interrupt() has checks to avoid being
flooded with interrupts (more then 1000 samples are received per
task_tick).  Samples are then dropped and a PERF_RECORD_THROTTLED is
added to the perf data. The perf subsystem limit calculation is:

    maximum sample frequency := 100000 --> 1 samples per 10 us
    task_tick = 10ms = 10000us --> 1000 samples per task_tick

The work flow is

measurement_alert() uses SDBT head and each SBDT points to 511
 SDB pages, each with 126 sample entries. After processing 8 SBDs
 and for each valid sample calling:

     perf_event_overflow()
       perf_event_account_interrupts()

there is a considerable amount of samples being dropped, especially when
the sample frequency is very high and near the 100000 limit.

To avoid the high amount of samples being dropped near the end of a
task_tick time frame, increment the sampling interval in case of
dropped events. The CPU Measurement sampling facility on the s390
supports only intervals, specifiing how many CPU cycles have to be
executed before a sample is generated. Increase the interval when the
samples being generated hit the task_tick limit.
