Subject: [PATCH] s390/cpum_sf: Cap sampling rate to prevent lsctl exception

commit fcc43a7e294f ("s390/configs: Set HZ=1000") changed the interrupt frequency of the system. On machines with heavy load and many perf event overflows, this might lead to an exception. Dmesg displays these entries:

  [112.242542] cpum_sf: Loading sampling controls failed: op 1 err -22

One line per CPU online.

The root cause is the CPU Measurement sampling facility overflow adjustment. Whenever an overflow (too much samples per tick) occurs, the sampling rate is adjusted and increased. This was done without observing the maximum sampling rate limit. When the current sampling interval is higher than the maximum sampling rate limit, the lsctl instruction raises an exception. The error messages is the result of such an exception. Observe the upper limit when the new sampling rate is recalculated.
