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.
