perf/core: Rework memory accounting in perf_mmap()

perf_mmap() always increases user->locked_vm. As a result, "extra" could
grow bigger than "user_extra", which doesn't make sense. Here is an
example case:

(Note: Assume "user_lock_limit" is very small.)

| # of perf_mmap calls |vma->vm_mm->pinned_vm|user->locked_vm|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | user_extra | user_extra |
| 2 | 3 * user_extra | 2 * user_extra|
| 3 | 6 * user_extra | 3 * user_extra|
| 4 | 10 * user_extra | 4 * user_extra|

Fix this by maintaining proper user_extra and extra.
