[PATCH 04/28] perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Kan Liang <Kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':

	ââWarning:âââââââââââââââââââââââ
	âfall back to non-overwrite modeâ
	â                               â
	â                               â
	âPress any key...               â
	âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").

For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.

The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.
