Revert "perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages" 

This reverts commit 74390aa556 ("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!
