Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] pgo: Fix sleep in atomic section in prf_open() v3

In prf_open() the required buffer size can be so large that
vzalloc() may sleep thus triggering bug:

======

Since we can't vzalloc while holding pgo_lock,
split the code into steps:
* First get initial buffer size via prf_buffer_size()
  and release the lock.

* Round up to the page size and allocate the buffer.

* Finally re-acquire the pgo_lock and call prf_serialize().
  prf_serialize() will now check if the buffer is large enough
  and returns -EAGAIN if it is not.

Note that prf_buffer_size() walks linked lists that
are modified by __llvm_profile_instrument_target(),
so we have to "guess" the buffer size ahead of time.
prf_serialize() will then return the actual data length.

Note: I re-sended this email since it looked like it was lost.
v3: Go back to the loop solution.
    Explained why prf_buffer_size() needs pgo_lock.
    Cleanup the code a bit.
v2: Loopless attempt.
