perf: mmap 512 kiB by default

The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.

However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.

Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.

Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.
