perf: Fix vmalloc ring buffer pages handling

If we allocate perf ring buffer with the size of single (user)
page, we will get memory corruption when releasing itin
rb_free_work function (for CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC option).

For single page sized ring buffer the page_order is -1 (because
nr_pages is 0). This needs to be recognized in the rb_free_work
function to release proper amount of pages.

Adding data_page_nr function that returns number of allocated
data pages. Customizing the rest of the code to use it.
