Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] perf tools: Don't poll and mmap overwritable events

There's no need to receive events from overwritable ring buffer. Instead,
perf should make them run background until something happen. This patch
makes normal events from overwrite events ignored.

Overwritable events must be mapped readonly and backward, so if evlist
and evsel is not match (evsel->overwrite is true but either evlist is
read/write or evlist is not backward, and vice versa), skip mapping it.

It is possible that all events in an evlist are overwritable.
perf_event__synth_time_conv() should not crash in this case. record__pick_pc()
is used to check avaliability. Further commits will expand it when we
introduce auxiliary evlists and have multiple mmaps.
