perf evlist: Drop redundant evsel->overwrite indicator evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead. In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read from an forward overwritable ring buffer.
