The aux_head and aux_wakeup members of struct ring_buffer are defined
using the local_t type, despite the fact that they are only accessed via
the perf_aux_output_* functions, which cannot race with each other for a
given ring buffer.

This patch changes the type of the members to long, so we can avoid
using the local_* API where it isn't needed.

Thanks for digging this up! Some minor nits below.

Can't we just do away with aux_head here:

  rb->user_page->aux_head = rb->aux_head;
  if (rb->aux_head - rb->aux_wakeup >= rb->aux_watermark) { ...

?

And here I think we don't need aux_head at all.

Agreed on both counts. Will fix for v2.
