Subject: [PATCH 5.10 508/563] perf evsel: Override attr->sample_period for non-libpfm4 events

From: German Gomez <german.gomez@....com>

commit 3606c0e1a1050d397ad759a62607e419fd8b0ccb upstream.

A previous patch preventing "attr->sample_period" values from being
overridden in pfm events changed a related behaviour in arm-spe.

Before said patch:

  perf record -c 10000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1

Would yield an SPE event with period=10000. After the patch, the period
in "-c 10000" was being ignored because the arm-spe code initializes
sample_period to a non-zero value.

This patch restores the previous behaviour for non-libpfm4 events.

Fixes: ae5dcc8abe31 (“perf record: Prevent override of attr->sample_period for libpfm4 events”)
