Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] perf: add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMU

This patch adds /sys/device/xxx/perf_event_mux_interval_ms to ajust the
multiplexing interval per PMU. The unit is milliseconds. Value
has to be >= 1.

In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more
consistent with the other /proc/sys/kernel entries for
perf_events.

In the 5th version, we handle the reprogramming of the
hrtimer using hrtimer_forward_now(). That way, we sync
up to new timer value quickly (suggested by Jiri Olsa).
