In literal sense of "max_samples_per_tick", if hwc->interrupts ==
max_samples_per_tick, it should not be throttled, therefore, the judgment
condition should be changed to "hwc->interrupts > max_samples_per_tick".
In fact, this may cause the hardlockup to fail, The minimum value of
max_samples_per_tick may be 1, in this case, the return value of
__perf_event_account_interrupt function is 1.
As a result, nmi_watchdog gets throttled, which would stop PMU (Use x86
architecture as an example, see x86_pmu_handle_irq).
