I tested with a downloaded event, and it does have samples.  But the
frequency could not be changed even with your patch.

  $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.327 MB perf.data (~14281 samples) ]

  $ perf evlist -F
  cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=2000003

At least, it worked well for events don't have a default sample
freq/period which means all but tracepoint events.  For tracepoint
events, it makes little sense to change the default so I decided not to
touch it.  

But with your change, the downloaded events might have a default
freq/period setting now.  So I'd like to make it right.  I'll send a fix
for this right soon.

Thanks,
