Subject: [PATCH 48/55] perf tools: Set write_backward attribut bit for overwrite events

write_backward attribute makes kernel filling ring buffer from the end
of it, makes reading from overwrite ring buffer possible.

This patch select this attribute if evsel->overwrite is selected
explicitly by user.

Overwrite and write_backward are still controled separatly for legacy
readonly mmap users (most of them are in perf/tests).
