perf/ring_buffer: Refuse to begin AUX transaction after rb->aux_mmap_count drops
When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb->aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.
This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb->aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.
