Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors

It's possible to setup PEBS events to get only errors and not
a single data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don;t have a way to stop event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit.

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]
  ...
  RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81159232>]  [<ffffffff81159232>] smp_call_function_single+0xe2/0x140
  ...
  Call Trace:
   ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf5/0x1b0
   ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70
   perf_install_in_context+0x199/0x1b0

   do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1f0
   entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Adding perf_event_account_interrupt which does the interrupt
and frequency checks and calling it from drain_pebs's error
path.

Keeping pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in
__perf_event_overflow path, abecause they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.
