perf/aux: Make aux_{head,wakeup} ring_buffer members long
The aux_head and aux_wakeup members of struct ring_buffer are defined using the local_t type, despite the fact that they are only accessed via the perf_aux_output_*() functions, which cannot race with each other for a given ring buffer. This patch changes the type of the members to long, so we can avoid using the local_*() API where it isn't needed.
