From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
The PEBS TSC-based timestamps do not appear correctly in the final
perf.data output file from perf record.
The data->time field setup by PEBS in the setup_pebs_fixed_sample_data()
is later overwritten by perf_events generic code in
perf_prepare_sample(). There is an ordering problem.
Set the sample flags when the data->time is updated by PEBS.
The data->time field will not be overwritten anymore.
