perf/intel/x86: Enlarge the PEBS buffer

Currently the PEBS buffer size is 4k, it can only hold about 21
PEBS records. This patch enlarges the PEBS buffer size to 64k
(the same as the BTS buffer).

64k memory can hold about 330 PEBS records. This will significantly
reduce the number of PMIs when batched PEBS interrupts are enabled.
