PMCs on PowerPC increases towards 0x80000000 and triggers an overflow
interrupt when the msb is set to collect a sample. Therefore, to setup
for the next sample collection, pmu_start should set the pmc value to
0x80000000 - left instead of left which incorrectly delays the next
overflow interrupt. Same as commit 9a45a9407c69 ("powerpc/perf:
power_pmu_start restores incorrect values, breaking frequency events")
for book3s.
