Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Revert "perf session: Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size"

An event may be split by a buffer boundary, we should not abort processing
if that happens.

Fixes: bb1835a3b86c ("perf session: Fix decompression of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records")
Fixes: 57fc032ad643 ("perf session: Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size")
