This changes PerfBuffer::read_events() to call BytesMut::reserve()
internally, and deprecates PerfBufferError::MoreSpaceNeeded.
This makes for a more ergonomic API, and allows for a more idiomatic
usage of BytesMut. For example consider:
This is a common way to process perf bufs, where a sub buffer is split
off from the original buffer and then processed. In the next iteration
of the loop when it's time to read again, two things can happen:
if processing of the sub buffer is complete and
sub
has beendropped, read_events() will call buf.reserve(sample_size) and hit a fast
path in BytesMut that will just restore the original capacity of the
buffer (assuming sample_size <= N).
if processing of the sub buffer hasn't ended (eg the buffer has been
stored or is being processed in another thread),
buf.reserve(sample_size) will actually allocate the new memory required
to read the sample.
In other words, calling buf.reserve(sample_size) inside read_events()
simplifies doing zero-copy processing of buffers in many cases.
