perf tools: Make the mmap length autotuning more robust
If /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb is not (power of 2 + PAGE_SIZE_in_kb)
and we let the perf tools do mmap length autosizing based on that, then, for
non-CAP_IPC_LOCK users when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is > -1, then
we get an -EINVAL that ends up in:
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace usleep 1
Invalid argument
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ perf record usleep 1
failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)
After this fix:
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ trace usleep 1
