[PATCH V3 6/6] perf/x86: calculate sampling overhead

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

On x86, NMI handler is the most important part which brings overhead
for sampling. Adding a pmu specific overhead type
PERF_PMU_SAMPLE_OVERHEAD for it.

For other architectures which may don't have NMI, the overhead type can
be reused.
