perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rate

commit 7ba8fa20 upstream.

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.

Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

Example:

 Before:

 $ perf script --itrace=i10us
