[PATCH 4/7] drm/i915/perf: add new open param to configure polling of OA buffer

[Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.g.landwerlin@intel.com>]

This new parameter let's the application choose how often the OA
buffer should be checked on the CPU side for data availability. Longer
polling period tend to reduce CPU overhead if the application does not
care about somewhat real time data collection.

v2: Allow disabling polling completely with 0 value (Lionel)
