Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't
need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow().
Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler.

Initial idea comes from Peter at [1]

Since default value of event->overflow_handler is not null, existing
'if (!overflow_handler)' need to be changed.
is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.

No extra performance introduced into hot path because in the original
code we still need reading this handler from memory. A conditional branch
is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.
