Returning zero from a bpf program attached to a perf event already
suppresses any data output. Return early from __perf_event_overflow() in
this case so it will also suppress event_limit accounting, SIGTRAP
generation, and F_ASYNC signalling.

Sorry, I haven't followed previous discussions, but why can't this
change be done as part of patch 1?

The idea was to refactor the code without making any behavior changes
(patches 1 and 2) and then to change the behavior (patch 3).
