perf/x86/intel/pt: Get rid of reverse lookup table for ToPA
In order to quickly find a ToPA entry by its page offset in the buffer, we're using a reverse lookup table. The problem with it is that it's a large array of mostly similar pointers, especially so now that we're using high order allocations from the page allocator. Because its size is limited to whatever is the maximum for kmalloc(), it places a limit on the number of ToPA entries per buffer, and therefore, on the total buffer size, which otherwise doesn't have to be there. Replace the reverse lookup table with a simple runtime lookup. With the high order AUX allocations in place, the runtime penalty of such a lookup is much smaller and in cases where all entries in a ToPA table are of the same size, the complexity is O(1).
