perf: Fix vmalloc ring buffer free function

If we allocate perf ring buffer with the size of single page,
we will get memory corruption when releasing it. It's caused
by rb_free_work function (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.

Introducing page_nr function (CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC only)
that returns number of allocated pages. Using it in rb_free_work
and perf_mmap_to_page functions.

Also setting rb->nr_pages to 0 in case we have only user page
allocated, which will fail perf_output_begin function and
prevents sample storage.
