For each index (per-cpu or per-task depends on user input), it now has
two mmaps - one for normal (sampling) mmap and another for track
(metadata) mmap. So I wanted to distinguish them by using positive
and negative number. But simply changing the sign did not work due to
0 index. And the subtracting by 1 works nicely for both direction.

0 => -1 => 0
1 => -2 => 1
2 => -3 => 2
3 => -4 => 3

So when it sees a negative index, it'll convert it using
track_mmap_idx() to get a matching (track) mmap.

Thanks,
Namhyung
