Subject[PATCH v3 2/3] perf tools: Don't discard prev in backward mode
Date
Perf record can switch output. The new output should only store the
data after switching. However, in overwrite backward mode, the new
output still have the data from old output. That also brings extra
overhead.

At the end of mmap_read, the position of processed ring buffer is
saved in md->prev. Next mmap_read should be end in md->prev if it is
not overwriten. That avoids to process duplicate data.
However, the md->prev is discarded. So next mmap_read has to process
whole valid ring buffer, which probably include the old processed
data.

Avoid calling backward_rb_find_range() when md->prev is still
available.
