perf/ring_buffer: Fix AUX software double buffering

Browse Source 
This recent commit:

  5768402fd9 ("perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically")

overlooked the fact that the previous one page granularity of the AUX buffer
provided an implicit double buffering capability to the PMU driver, which
went away when the entire buffer became one high-order page.

Always make the full-trace mode AUX allocation at least two-part to preserve
the previous behavior and allow the implicit double buffering to continue.
