x86, bts, mm: clean up buffer allocation
The current mm interface is asymetric. One function allocates a locked
buffer, another function only refunds the memory.
Change this to have two functions for accounting and refunding locked
memory, respectively; and do the actual buffer allocation in ptrace.
[ Impact: refactor BTS buffer allocation code ]
