Subject: [RESEND PATCH 3/5] perf core: Prepare writing into ring buffer from end

Convert perf_output_begin to __perf_output_begin and make the later
function able to write records from the end of the ring buffer.
Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag.

This patch doesn't introduce any extra performance overhead since we
use always_inline.
