perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler()

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:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net

Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing
'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed.

is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.

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