[PATCH 3/5] perf: Convert the perf output buffer to local_t

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: perf-buffer-local_t.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4695 bytes --]

Since there is now only a single writer, we can use local_t instead
and avoid all these pesky LOCK insn.
