perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record size
We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we might economize some in some cases. But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in the buffer.
