[PATCH v2 -perf/core 1/2] perf mmap: Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range

From: Yisheng Xie
Date: Tue Mar 13 2018 - 08:41:17 EST


In overwrite mode, start will be set to head in perf_mmap__read_init.
Therefore, it is no need to set the start one more in
overwrite_rb_find_range and *start can be used as head instead of
passing head to overwrite_rb_find_range.
