perf_events: Fix races and clean up perf_event and perf_mmap_data interaction
In order to move toward separate buffer objects, rework the whole perf_mmap_data construct to be a more self-sufficient entity, one with its own lifetime rules. This greatly sanitizes the whole output redirection code, which was riddled with bugs and races.
