Wang Nan 71f566a349 perf mmap: Fix perf backward recording
'perf record' backward recording doesn't work as we expected: it never
overwrites when ring buffer gets full.

Test:

Run a busy python printing task background like this:

 while True:
     print 123

send SIGUSR2 to perf to capture snapshot, then:

 # ./perf record --overwrite -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit --exclude-perf -a --switch-output

             perf  2717 [000] 12449.310785: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 16 (5, 2400, 0, 59, 100, 0)

           python  2545 [000] 12449.310800:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 1 = 4

Timestamps never change, but my background task is a dead loop, can
easily overwhelm the ring buffer.

This patch fixes it by forcing unsetting PROT_WRITE for a backward ring
buffer, so all backward ring buffers become overwrite ring buffers.

Test result:
