[PATCH] perf tools: Fix Intel BTS/PT timestamp handling

[Adrian Hunter]

Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp
value of -1.  Intel BTS and Intel PT processing wasn't
taking that into account.  This is particularly noticeable
with Intel BTS because timestamps are not requested by
default.  Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results
in a small number, the processing is unaffected.
However if the conversion results in a big number, then
the data is processed prematurely before relevant sideband
data like mmap events, which in turn results in samples
with unknown dsos.
