perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically

Currently, the AUX buffer allocator will use high-order allocations
for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter-gather chaining to ensure
large contiguous blocks of pages, and always use an array of single
pages otherwise.

There is, however, a tangible performance benefit in using larger chunks
of contiguous memory even in the latter case, that comes from not having
to fetch the next page's address at every page boundary. In particular,
a task running under Intel PT on an Atom CPU shows 1.5%-2% less runtime
penalty with a single multi-page output region in snapshot mode (no PMI)
than with multiple single-page output regions, from ~6% down to ~4%. For
the snapshot mode it does make a difference as it is intended to run over
long periods of time.

For this reason, change the allocation policy to always optimistically
start with the highest possible order when allocating pages for the AUX
buffer, desceding until the allocation succeeds or order zero allocation
fails.
