perf/ring-buffer: Clarify the use of page::private for high-order AUX allocations

A question [1] was raised about the use of page::private in AUX buffer
allocations, so let's add a clarification about its intended use.

The private field and flag are used by perf's rb_alloc_aux() path to
tell the pmu driver the size of each high-order allocation, so that the
driver can program those appropriately into its hardware. This only
matters for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter tables. Otherwise,
every page in the buffer is just a page.

This patch adds a comment about the private field to the AUX buffer
allocation path.
