perf: Fix perf mmap bugs
Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity fuzzer. Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap(): - it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting. - it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap(). We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work. Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of perf_event_set_output(). This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own accounting.
