perf/core: Avoid put_page() when GUP fails

PEBS PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR events use perf_virt_to_phys() to convert PMU
sampled virtual addresses to physical using get_user_page_fast_only()
and page_to_phys().

Some get_user_page_fast_only() error cases return false, indicating no
page reference, but still initialize the output page pointer with an
unreferenced page. In these error cases perf_virt_to_phys() calls
put_page(). This causes page reference count underflow, which can lead
to unintentional page sharing.

Fix perf_virt_to_phys() to only put_page() if get_user_page_fast_only()
returns a referenced page.
