Sasha reported:

 [ 3494.030114] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:685:22
 [ 3494.030647] shift exponent -1 is negative

Andrey spotted that this is because:

  It happens if nr_pages = 0:
     rb->page_order = ilog2(nr_pages);

Fix it by making both assignments conditional on nr_pages; since
otherwise they should both be 0 anyway, and will be because of the
kzalloc() used to allocate the structure.
