[PATCH v4 1/4] perf/bpf: Call bpf handler directly, not through overflow machinery

[Kyle Huey <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To ultimately allow bpf programs attached to perf events to completely
suppress all of the effects of a perf event overflow (rather than just the
sample output, as they do today), call bpf_overflow_handler() from
__perf_event_overflow() directly rather than modifying struct perf_event's
overflow_handler. Return the bpf program's return value from
bpf_overflow_handler() so that __perf_event_overflow() knows how to
proceed. Remove the now unnecessary orig_overflow_handler from struct
perf_event.

This patch is solely a refactoring and results in no behavior change.
