Subject: [PATCH 43/46] perf record: Rename variable to make code clear

record__mmap_read() write data from ring buffer into perf.data.
'head' is maintained by kernel, points to the last writtend record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data. The naming of variables are not easy to read. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.

Add start and end pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head'
instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:

    buf = &data[old & md->mask];
    size = head - old;
    old += size;     <--- Here, old == head
