[PATCH V3 05/12] perf mmap: introduce perf_mmap__read_event

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

Except perf record, other perf tools read events one by one from ring
buffer by 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 read 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.
