perf intel-tpebs: Inline get_perf_record_args

Code is short enough to be inlined and there are no error cases when
made inline.

Make the implicit NULL pointer at the end of the argv explicit.

Move the fixed number of arguments before the variable number of
arguments.

Correctly size the argv allocation and zero when feeing to avoid a
dangling pointer.
