perf record: Fix multiple PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2 records per push

With Zstd compression enabled ('perf record -z'), a single mmap push
whose compressed output exceeds the maximum record size makes
zstd_compress_stream_to_records() emit several PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2
records back to back. record__pushfn() however rewrote only the first
record's header to describe the whole blob as one record:

  event->data_size   = compressed - sizeof(struct perf_record_compressed2);
  event->header.size = PERF_ALIGN(compressed, sizeof(u64));
  padding            = event->header.size - compressed;
  ...
  record__write(rec, map, &pad, padding);

perf_event_header::size is a __u16, so once the compressed blob no
longer fits in it the header.size assignment truncates and 'padding'
(size_t) underflows. write() is then handed that bogus length and fails
with EFAULT, aborting the recording:

  failed to write perf data, error: Bad address

The bytes that did reach the file are mis-framed, so reading it back
cannot be decompressed.

This is easy to hit with a high event rate and a large buffer, e.g.:

  perf record -z -F max -m 32M --per-thread -- perf test -w thloop 5 1

The single-record fixup is wrong by construction: because header.size is
16 bits a compressed record cannot exceed 64KB, so the compressor must
split a push into a chain of records, and the session reader already
consumes them as such.

Frame each record where it is produced instead: make
process_comp_header() set the per-record data_size, 8-byte-align
header.size and zero the trailing padding, and let record__pushfn()
write the resulting blob, as the AIO path already does. Reduce
max_record_size by sizeof(u64) so the per-record alignment padding
cannot push header.size past its u16 field. process_comp_header()
returns -1 when that padding would not fit the space left in 'dst', so
the compressor stops instead of overrunning the output buffer.

There is no on-disk format change; a perf.data written by the fixed tool
is still read by existing perf.
