perf: Enforce 1 as lower limit for perf_event_max_sample_rate
commit 723478c8a471403c53cf144999701f6e0c4bbd11 upstream.
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate will accept
negative values as well as 0.
Negative values are unreasonable, and 0 causes a
divide by zero exception in perf_proc_update_handler.
This patch enforces a lower limit of 1.
