There's two problems with the current amd_brs_adjust_period() code:
- it isn't in fact AMD specific and wil always adjust the period;
- it adjusts the period, while it should only adjust the event count,
resulting in repoting a short period.
Fix this by using x86_pmu.limit_period, this makes it specific to the
AMD BRS case and ensures only the event count is adjusted while the
reported period is unmodified.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
