perf: Pass last sampling period to perf_sample_data_init()
We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.
