Peter Zijlstra 950b74ddef arm64: perf: Implement correct cap_user_time
As reported by Leo; the existing implementation is broken when the
clock and counter don't intersect at 0.

Use the sched_clock's struct clock_read_data information to correctly
implement cap_user_time and cap_user_time_zero.

Note that the ARM64 counter is architecturally only guaranteed to be
56bit wide (implementations are allowed to be wider) and the existing
perf ABI cannot deal with wrap-around.

This implementation should also be faster than the old; seeing how we
don't need to recompute mult and shift all the time.

[leoyan: Use mul_u64_u32_shr() to convert cyc to ns to avoid overflow]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
