When recording SPE traces, the default sample_period is currently being
set to 1 in the perf_event_attr fields, instead of the value advertised
in '/sys/devices/arm_spe_0/caps/min_interval':

Before:

$ perf record -e arm_spe// -vv -- sleep 1
[...]
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   1
[...]

Use the value from the above sysfs location as a more sensible default
(it was already being read, but the value not being used)

After:

$ perf record -e arm_spe// -vv -- sleep 1
[...]
  { sample_period, sample_freq }   1024
[...]
