[PATCH 3.16 76/87] perf/ioctl: Add check for the sample_period value

3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ravi Bangoria <redacted>

commit 913a90bc5a3a06b1f04c337320e9aeee2328dd77 upstream.

perf_event_open() limits the sample_period to 63 bits. See:

  0819b2e30ccb ("perf: Limit perf_event_attr::sample_period to 63 bits")

Make ioctl() consistent with it.

Also on PowerPC, negative sample_period could cause a recursive
PMIs leading to a hang (reported when running perf-fuzzer).
