perf: split perf_trace_buf_prepare into alloc and update parts

split allows to move expensive update of 'struct trace_entry' to later phase.
Repurpose unused 1st argument of perf_tp_event() to indicate event type.

While splitting use temp variable 'rctx' instead of '*rctx' to avoid
unnecessary loads done by the compiler due to -fno-strict-aliasing
