Revert "perf/core: Make sure the ring-buffer is mapped in all page-tables"

This reverts commit 77754cfa09a6c528c38cbca9ee4cc4f7cf6ad6f2.

The patch was necessary to silence a WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi())
that triggered in the vmalloc_fault() function when PTI was
enabled on x86-32.

Faulting in an NMI handler turned out to be safe and the
warning in vmalloc_fault() is gone now. So the above patch
can be reverted.
