The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a
fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions
since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide.
So do it that way.

Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp value of -1.
Intel PT processing wasn't taking that into account.
This is particularly noticeable with Intel BTS because timestamps are
not requested by default.
Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results in a small number, the
processing is unaffected.
However if the conversion results in a big number, then the data is
processed prematurely before relevant sideband data like mmap events,
which in turn results in samples with unknown dsos.
Commiter note:
Since BTS wasn't upstream, I split the patch to fold the BTS part with
the patch introducing it, to avoid having this bug in the commit
history. PT was already upstream, so this patch contains that part.

Add support for Intel Processor Trace.
Intel PT support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording
is supporting by identifying the Intel PT PMU, parsing options and
setting up events.
Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by cpu or thread and then
decoding synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the
session processing for tools to consume.
