[PATCH 24/55] perf core: Reduce perf event output overhead by new overflow handler

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

By creating onward and backward specific overflow handlers and setting
them according to event's backward setting, normal sampling events
don't need checking backward setting of an event any more.

This is the last patch of backward writing patchset. After this patch,
there's no extra overhead introduced to the fast path of sampling
output.
