perf: Fix vmalloc ring buffer pages handling
If we allocate perf ring buffer with the size of single (user) page, we will get memory corruption when releasing itin rb_free_work function (for CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC option). For single page sized ring buffer the page_order is -1 (because nr_pages is 0). This needs to be recognized in the rb_free_work function to release proper amount of pages. Adding data_page_nr function that returns number of allocated data pages. Customizing the rest of the code to use it.
