Subject: [PATCH 4.8 030/140] perf intel-pt: Fix estimated timestamps for cycle-accurate mode

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

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

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

commit 51ee6481fa8e879cc942bcc1b0af713e158b7a98 upstream.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.
