[PATCH v4 16/22] perf: Add rb_{alloc,free}_kernel api

[Alexander Shishkin]

Events that generate AUX data can also be created by the kernel. In this
case, some in-kernel infrastructure is needed to store and copy this data.

This patch adds api for ring buffer (de-)allocation that can be used by the
kernel code.
