perf/core: Avoid put_page() when GUP fails
PEBS PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR events use perf_virt_to_phys() to convert PMU sampled virtual addresses to physical using get_user_page_fast_only() and page_to_phys().
Some get_user_page_fast_only() error cases return false, indicating no page reference, but still initialize the output page pointer with an unreferenced page. In these error cases perf_virt_to_phys() calls put_page(). This causes page reference count underflow, which can lead to unintentional page sharing.
Fix perf_virt_to_phys() to only put_page() if get_user_page_fast_only() returns a referenced page.
