perf mmap: Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it

Zstd streams create dictionaries that can require significant RAM,
especially when there is one per-CPU. Tools like 'perf record' won't use
the streams without the -z option, and so the creation of the streams
is pure overhead. Switch to creating the streams on first use.

Committer notes:

ssize_t comes from sys/types.h, size_t from stddef.h. This worked on
glibc as stdlib.h includes both, but not on musl libc. So do what 'man
size_t' says and include sys/types.h and stddef.h instead of stdlib.h
