perf/core: Fix aux_mmap_count vs aux_refcount order

The order of accesses to ring buffer's aux_mmap_count and aux_refcount
has to be preserved across the users, namely perf_mmap_close() and
perf_aux_output_begin(), otherwise the inversion can result in the latter
holding the last reference to the aux buffer and subsequently free'ing
it in atomic context, triggering a warning.

This patch puts the checks in perf_aux_output_begin() in the same order
as that of perf_mmap_close().
