Revert "perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages"
This reverts commit 74390aa55678 ("perf: Remove the extra validity check
on nr_pages")
nr_pages equals to number of pages - 1 in perf_mmap. So nr_pages = 0 is
valid.
So the nr_pages != 0 && !is_power_of_2(nr_pages) are all
needed for checking. Otherwise, for example, perf test 6 failed.
# perf test 6
6: x86 rdpmc test :Error:
mmap() syscall returned with (Invalid argument)
FAILED!
