Why ? sdb->full is not updated after the write to RD_ADDR_REG.

My issue here is with potentially "leaving the trace from a previous
session for the next session". i.e., at the end of a run, we must always
make sure that the buffer is left empty (unlike the sysfs mode).
e.g.,
perf_session_x: RUN0: RD=0x0, WR=0x5000, HANDLE_SIZE=0x3000, full=false.
At the end of the above routine we will have :
RD=0x3000, WR=0x5000,
and if a different perf session comes in, say perf_session_y, it will
consume trace written by "x" at 0x3000-0x50000, right ?
This is fine in the sysfs mode as we expect the entire sysfs mode
to be owned by a single session and is left to the user to split it.
But for perf mode we cannot do that and thus must make sure we don't
leak trace from one session to antoher.
