perf/x86/intel/ds: Simplify the PEBS records processing for adaptive PEBS

The current code may iterate all the PEBS records in the DS area several
times. The first loop is to find all active events and calculate the
available records for each event. Then iterate the whole buffer again
and again to process available records until all active events are
processed.

The algorithm is inherited from the old generations. The old PEBS
hardware does not deal well with the situation when events happen near
each other. SW has to drop the error records. Multiple iterations are
required.

The hardware limit has been addressed on newer platforms with adaptive
PEBS. A simple one-iteration algorithm is introduced.

The samples are output by record order with the patch, rather than the
event order. It doesn't impact the post-processing. The perf tool always
sorts the records by time before presenting them to the end user.

In an NMI, the last record has to be specially handled. Add a last[]
variable to track the last unprocessed record of each event.

Test:

11 PEBS events are used in the perf test. Only the basic information is
collected.
perf record -e instructions:up,...,instructions:up -c 2000003 benchmark

The ftrace is used to record the duration of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_icl().

The average duration reduced from 62.04us to 57.94us.

A small improvement can be observed with the new algorithm.
Also, the implementation becomes simpler and more straightforward.
