[PATCH 2/2] perf, pt: Remove software double buffering PMU capability

From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Fri May 03 2019 - 04:56:16 EST


Now that all AUX allocations are high-order by default, the software
double buffering PMU capability doesn't make sense any more, get rid
of it. In case some PMUs choose to opt out, we can re-introduce it.
