[igt-dev] [PATCH 06/29] i915/perf: Account for OA sampling interval in polling test

[Umesh Nerlige Ramappa]

The polling test reads all the reports and then expects EAGAIN on a
subsequent read since it has consumed all available data. This
works well for OA sampling periods in the order of 10s of ms. For
smaller sampling periods like 500 us, we end up reading valid data and
the test fails. Fix the check to account for the OA sampling period.
