[PATCH v2 11/13] perf record: Toggle overwrite ring buffer for reading

[Wang Nan]

overwrite_evt_state is introduced to reflect the state of overwritable
ring buffers. It is a state machine with 3 states:

 RUNNING --(1)--> DATA_PENDING --(2)--> EMPTY
    ^                  ^                 |
    |                  |___(disallow)___/|
    |                                    |
     \_________________(3)______________/

 RUNNING      : Overwritable ring buffers are recording
 DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect overwritable ring buffers
 EMPTY        : We have collected data from those ring buffers.

 (1): Pause ring buffers for reading
 (2): N/A
 (3): Resume ring buffers for recording

We can't avoid this complexity. Because we deliberately drop records from
overwritable ring buffer, we can't detect remaining data by checking head
and old pointers. Therefore, DATA_PENDING state is mandatory.
