[PATCH 37/48] perf record: Don't read from and poll overwrite channel

[Wang Nan]

Reading from overwritable ring buffer is unreliable. Introduce
record__mmap_should_read() and prevent reading from overwrite ring
buffer in 'perf record'. The rule in record__mmap_should_read() will
be changed when perf support reading from backward writing ring buffer.
