perf arm-spe: Use advertised caps/min_interval as default sample_period

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
  [...]
