perf_counter: Allow for a wakeup watermark
Currently we wake the mmap() consumer once every PAGE_SIZE of data
and/or once event wakeup_events when specified.
For high speed sampling this results in too many wakeups wrt. the
buffer size, hence change this.
We move the default wakeup limit to 1/4-th the buffer size, and
provide for means to manually specify this limit.
