3.11.10.11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

commit 5f5092e72cc25a6a5785308270e0085b2b2772cc upstream.

Since we indirect all of our PMU IRQ handling through a dispatcher, it's
trivial to hook up perf_sample_event_took to prevent applications such
as oprofile from generating interrupt storms due to an unrealisticly
low sample period.
