Frederic Weisbecker 880f573184 perf: Better fit max unprivileged mlock pages for tools needs
The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.

However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.

Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:

	$ perf record ls
	Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)

Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.
