We should use perf_sample_data_init() to initialize struct
perf_sample_data. As explained in the description of commit dc1d628a
("perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization"), it is
possible for userspace to get the kernel to dereference data.raw,
so if it is not initialized, that means that unprivileged userspace
can possibly oops the kernel. Using perf_sample_data_init makes sure
it gets initialized to NULL.
This conversion should have been included in commit dc1d628a, but it
got missed.

The Pstate transition latency check was added for broken F10h BIOSen
which wrongly contain a value of 0 for transition and bus master
latency. Fam11h and later, however, (will) have similar transition
latency so extend that behavior for them too.

The PCC cpufreq driver unmaps the mailbox address range if any CPUs fail to
initialise, but doesn't do anything to remove the registered CPUs from the
cpufreq core resulting in failures further down the line. We're better off
simply returning a failure - the cpufreq core will unregister us cleanly if
we end up with no successfully registered CPUs. Tidy up the failure path
and also add a sanity check to ensure that the firmware gives us a realistic
frequency - the core deals badly with that being set to 0.

The pcc specification documents an _OSC method that's incompatible with the
one defined as part of the ACPI spec. This shouldn't be a problem as both
are supposed to be guarded with a UUID. Unfortunately approximately nobody
(including HP, who wrote this spec) properly check the UUID on entry to the
_OSC call. Right now this could result in surprising behaviour if the pcc
driver performs an _OSC call on a machine that doesn't implement the pcc
specification. Check whether the PCCH method exists first in order to reduce
this probability.

Recently my tagged sysfs support revealed a flaw in the device core
that a few rare drivers are running into such that we don't always put
network devices in a class subdirectory named net/.
Since we are not creating the class directory the network devices wind
up in a non-tagged directory, but the symlinks to the network devices
from /sys/class/net are in a tagged directory. All of which works
until we go to remove or rename the symlink. When we remove or rename
a symlink we look in the namespace of the target of the symlink.
Since the target of the symlink is in a non-tagged sysfs directory we
don't have a namespace to look in, and we fail to remove the symlink.
Detect this problem up front and simply don't create symlinks we won't
be able to remove later. This prevents symlink leakage and fails in
a much clearer and more understandable way.
