oprofile: remove double ring buffering



oprofile used a double buffer scheme for its cpu event buffer
to avoid races on reading with the old locked ring buffer.

But that is obsolete now with the new ring buffer, so simply
use a single buffer. This greatly simplifies the code and avoids
a lot of sample drops on large runs, especially with call graph.

Based on suggestions from Steven Rostedt

For stable kernels from v2.6.32, but not earlier.
