Subject: [PATCH 4.9 078/101] perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timing after overflow

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

commit dd27b87ab5fcf3ea1c060b5e3ab5d31cc78e9f4c upstream.

On some platforms, overflows will clear before MTC wraparound, and there
is no following TSC/TMA packet. In that case the previous TMA is valid.
Since there will be a valid TMA either way, stop setting 'have_tma' to
false upon overflow.
