Subject: [PATCH 5/7] perf: kill pmu::hrtimer_interval_ms

The hrtimers affecting a pmu live in perf_cpu_context, which may be
shared by multiple pmus. As such it does not make sense for the pmu to
track the interval, which is a property of the shared context.

This patch removes pmu::hrtimer_interval_ms, and reworks all existing
users to use perf_cpu_context::hrtimer_interval instead. No pmu
implementations currently override the default hrtimer_interval_ms
statically, so we don't lose any existing implementation-specific
intervals (which could themselves be problematic if two pmus had
different hrtimer_interval_ms values).

While we're in the area we also replace uses of
ns_to_ktime(NSEC_PER_MSEC * $x) with ms_to_ktime($x), which does the
same thing.
