Subject: [PATCH 4.9 56/67] perf/x86/intel: Dont accidentally clear high bits in bdw_limit_period()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit e5ea9b54a055619160bbfe527ebb7d7191823d66 upstream.

We intended to clear the lowest 6 bits but because of a type bug we
clear the high 32 bits as well.  Andi says that periods are rarely more
than U32_MAX so this bug probably doesn't have a huge runtime impact.
