Subject: [PATCH V5 10/17] perf mmap: discard legacy interface for mmap read

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>

Discards perf_mmap__read_backward() and perf_mmap__read_catchup(). No
tools use them.

There are tools still use perf_mmap__read_forward(). Keep it, but add
comments to point to the new interface for future use.
