[PATCH 38/43] perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages

From: Kaixu Xia <xiakaixu@huawei.com>

The function is_power_of_2() also do the check on nr_pages, so the first
check performed is unnecessary. On the other hand, the key point is to
ensure @nr_pages is a power-of-two number and mostly @nr_pages is a
nonzero value, so in the most cases, the function is_power_of_2() will
be called.
