ia64: perfmon: don't mark buffer pages as PG_reserved
In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as PG_reserved, so they would e.g. never get swapped out. This was required for special mappings. Nowadays, this is fully handled via the VMA (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside remap_pfn_range() to be precise). PG_reserved is no longer required but only a relic from the past. So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g. to detect them as MMIO pages). As there are no architecture specific checks for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can go. Use simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead. Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.
