Mykyta Yatsenko 1dee521b94 selftests/bpf: Fix flaky bpf_cookie selftest
[ Upstream commit 105eb5dc74 ]

bpf_cookie can fail on perf_event_open(), when it runs after the task_work
selftest. The task_work test causes perf to lower
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate, and bpf_cookie uses sample_freq,
which is validated against that sysctl. As a result,
perf_event_open() rejects the attr if the (now tighter) limit is
exceeded.

>From perf_event_open():
if (attr.freq) {
	if (attr.sample_freq > sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate)
		return -EINVAL;
} else {
	if (attr.sample_period & (1ULL << 63))
		return -EINVAL;
}

Switch bpf_cookie to use sample_period, which is not checked against
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate.
