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

From: Ravi Bangoria ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com
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).
