Given that you set counter_size to 32+bct_bcr.s << 4, I'm assuming these
counters are not 64bit wide (or at least the hardware has the option of
not being full width).

That means this local64_set() is wrong.

The purpose here is to emulate a longer period with a short counter. So
even though we have to take the interrupt to observe the counter width
overflow and reprogram, we must not decrease the @left value.

Doing so will trigger one of the above two cases and result in @overflow
== 1, even though we've not actually had hwc->sample_period counts.
