perf/core: Fix low freq setting via IOC_PERIOD

Browse Source 
commit 0d39844150546fa1415127c5fbae26db64070dd3 upstream.

A low attr::freq value cannot be set via IOC_PERIOD on some platforms.

The perf_event_check_period() introduced in:

  81ec3f3c4c ("perf/x86: Add check_period PMU callback")

was intended to check the period, rather than the frequency.
A low frequency may be mistakenly rejected by limit_period().

Fix it.

Fixes: 81ec3f3c4c ("perf/x86: Add check_period PMU callback")
