Except for 'perf record', the other perf tools read events one by one
from the ring buffer using perf_mmap__read_forward(). But it only
supports non-overwrite mode.
Introduce perf_mmap__read_event() to support both non-overwrite and
overwrite mode.
Usage:
perf_mmap__read_init()
while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) {
//process the event
perf_mmap__consume()
}
perf_mmap__read_done()
It cannot use perf_mmap__read_backward(). Because it always reads the
stale buffer which is already processed. Furthermore, the forward and
backward concepts have been removed. The perf_mmap__read_backward() will
be replaced and discarded later.

In perf_mmap__push(), the 'size' need to be recalculated, otherwise the
invalid data might be pushed to the record in overwrite mode.
The issue is introduced by commit 7fb4b407a1 ("perf mmap: Don't
discard prev in backward mode").
When the ring buffer is full in overwrite mode, backward_rb_find_range()
will be called to recalculate the 'start' and 'end'. The 'size' needs to
be recalculated accordingly.
Unconditionally recalculate the 'size', not just for full ring buffer in
overwrite mode. Because:
- There is no harmful to recalculate the 'size' for other cases.
- The code of calculating 'start' and 'end' will be factored out later.
The new function does not need to return 'size'.

'perf record' can switch its output data file. The new output should
only store the data after switching. However, in overwrite backward
mode, the new output still can have data from before switching. That
also brings extra overhead.
At the end of mmap_read(), the position of the processed ring buffer is
saved in md->prev. Next mmap_read should be end in md->prev if it is not
overwriten. That avoids processing duplicate data. However, md->prev is
discarded. So next the mmap_read() has to process whole valid ring
buffer, which probably includes old processed data.
Avoid calling backward_rb_find_range() when md->prev is still
available.
