Subject: [009/151] perf_event: Initialize data.period in perf_swevent_hrtimer()

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@...fujitsu.com>

commit 59d069eb5ae9b033ed1c124c92e1532c4a958991 upstream.

In current code in perf_swevent_hrtimer(), data.period is not
initialized, The result is obvious wrong:

 # ./perf record -f -e cpu-clock make
 # ./perf report
 # Samples: 1740
 #
 # Overhead   Command                                   ......
 # ........  ........  ..........................................
