Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] perf tools: Support reading from backward ring buffer

perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward
ring buffer. Different from reading forward, before reading, caller
needs to call perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() first.

Backward ring buffer should be read from 'head' pointer, not '0'.
perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() saves 'head' to 'md->prev', then
make it remember the start position after each reading.
