perf/amd/ibs: Don't allow freq mode event creation through ->config interface

Most perf_event_attr->config bits directly maps to IBS_{FETCH|OP}_CTL
MSR. Since the sample period is programmed in these control registers,
IBS PMU driver allows opening an IBS event by setting sample period
value directly in perf_event_attr->config instead of using explicit
perf_event_attr->sample_period interface.

However, this logic is not applicable for freq mode events since the
semantics of control register fields are applicable only to fixed
sample period whereas the freq mode event adjusts sample period after
each and every sample. Currently, IBS driver (unintentionally) allows
creating freq mode event via ->config interface, which is semantically
wrong as well as detrimental because it can be misused to bypass
perf_event_max_sample_rate checks.

Don't allow freq mode event creation through perf_event_attr->config
interface.
