File perf-evsel-allow-asking-for-max-precise_ip-in-new_cycles.patch of Package perf.12208

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Subject: perf evsel: Allow asking for max precise_ip in new_cycles()
Git-commit: 30269dc1a17df5117a2e267835863d4466c3569d
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1
References: bsc#1083691

There are cases where we want to leave attr.precise_ip as zero, such
as when using 'perf record --no-samples', where this would make the
kernel return -EINVAL.
