perf: Add unlikely() to the ring-buffer code
Add unlikely() annotations to 'slow' paths: When having a sampling event but no output buffer; you have bigger issues -- also the bail is still faster than actually doing the work. When having a sampling event but a control page only buffer, you have bigger issues -- again the bail is still faster than actually doing work. Optimize for the case where you're not loosing events -- again, not doing the work is still faster but make sure that when you have to actually do work its as fast as possible. The typical watermark is 1/2 the buffer size, so most events will not take this path. Shrinks perf_output_begin() by 16 bytes on x86_64-defconfig.
