Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another pile of fixes for perf:

   - Plug overflows and races in the core code

   - Sanitize the flow of the perf syscall so we error out before
     handling the more complex and hard to undo setups

   - Improve and fix Broadwell and Skylake hardware support

   - Revert a fix which broke what it tried to fix in perf tools

   - A couple of smaller fixes in various places of perf tools"
