Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf/x86/amd: Fix AMD BRS period adjustment

There's two problems with the current amd_brs_adjust_period() code:

 - it isn't in fact AMD specific and wil always adjust the period;

 - it adjusts the period, while it should only adjust the event count,
   resulting in repoting a short period.

Fix this by using x86_pmu.limit_period, this makes it specific to the
AMD BRS case and ensures only the event count is adjusted while the
reported period is unmodified.

Fixes: ba2fe7500845 ("perf/x86/amd: Add AMD branch sampling period adjustment")
