[RESEND PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix TSC slip

[Adrian Hunter]

A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to go
backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles, which is
certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an order of
magnitude more to be on the safe side.
