[PATCH] perf mmap: Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range

[Yisheng Xie]

In overwrite mode, start will be set to head in perf_mmap__read_init.
Therefore, it is no need to set the start one more in
overwrite_rb_find_range and *start can be used as head instead of
passing head to overwrite_rb_find_range.
