perf/x86/intel: Use PAGE_SIZE for PEBS buffer size on Core2

commit e72daf3f4d764c47fb71c9bdc7f9c54a503825b1 upstream.

Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in
intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we
don't do this.

The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr'
repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with
small periods.

  # perf test attr -vv
  14: struct perf_event_attr setup                             :
  --- start ---
  ...
    'PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp/tmpuEKz3B /usr/bin/perf record -o /tmp/tmpuEKz3B/perf.data -c 123 kill >/dev/null 2>&1' ret 1
