perf/amd/ibs: Remove pointless sample period check

Valid perf event sample period value for IBS PMUs (Fetch and Op both)
is limited to multiple of 0x10. perf_ibs_init() has this check:

  if (!event->attr.sample_freq && hwc->sample_period & 0x0f)
          return -EINVAL;

But it's broken since hwc->sample_period will always be 0 when
event->attr.sample_freq is 0 (irrespective of event->attr.freq value.)

One option to fix this is to change the condition:

  - if (!event->attr.sample_freq && hwc->sample_period & 0x0f)
  + if (!event->attr.freq && hwc->sample_period & 0x0f)

However, that will break all userspace tools which have been using IBS
event with sample_period not multiple of 0x10.

Another option is to remove the condition altogether and mask lower
nibble _silently_, same as what current code is inadvertently doing.
I'm preferring this approach as it keeps the existing behavior.
