[PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Fix: Use u64 for limit_period

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The large fixed period could be truncated on Broadwell.
For example, perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000.
The fixed period is 0x2540BE400. But the period which finally applied is
0x540BE400.

Because the limit_period is unsigned, which is 32bit. The higher 32bit
of the period will be truncated.

The issue is introduced since 'commit 294fe0f52a44 ("perf/x86/intel: Add
INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds")

Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when
calling limit_period.
bdw_limit_period() only modify the lowest 6 bits. It doesn't touch the
higher 32bit.
So it's safe to use u64 to replace the unsigned.
