Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: fix perf_event_mux_interval_ms when set zero

The perf_event_mux_interval_ms is set to zero or one by default.
It can't change back when someone changes it from zero to another
value.

Make perf_event_mux_interval_ms to PERF_CPU_HRTIMER when set zero.

Fixes: 62b856397927 ("perf: Add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMU")

I see that __perf_mux_hrtimer_init() sets it to PERF_CPU_HRTIMER
if it's less than 1.

Thanks,

Yes, pmu->hrtimer_interval_ms was set to PERF_CPU_HRTIMER, but perf_event_mux_interval_ms didn't.
We can execute 'cat /sys/devices/intel_pt/perf_event_mux_interval_ms' see that.
