sparc64: Fix Niagara2 perf event handling.
For chips like Niagara2 that have true overflow indications in the %pcr (which we don't actually need and don't use) the interrupt signal persists until the overflow bits are cleared by an explicit %pcr write. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
