Performance monitor interrupt handler checks if any counter has overflown and calls record_and_restart() in core-book3s which invokes perf_event_overflow() to record the sample information. Apart from creating sample, perf_event_overflow() also does the interrupt and period checks via perf_event_account_interrupt(). Currently we record information only if the SIAR (Sampled Instruction Address Register) valid bit is set (using siar_valid() check) and hence the interrupt check. But it is possible that we do sampling for some events that are not generating valid SIAR, and hence there is no chance to disable the event if interrupts are more than max_samples_per_tick. This leads to soft lockup. Fix this by adding perf_event_account_interrupt() in the invalid SIAR code path for a sampling event. ie if SIAR is invalid, just do interrupt check and don't record the sample information.
