not helpful.. I asked to separate those changes,
so we can clearly see what the refcnt check for
and what's behing that EAGAIN return

please add separate:
  1) patch that adds perf_mmap__read_init into perf_mmap__push
     with no functional change
  2) patch adds adds and explain the refcnt check
  3) patch that adds and explain the EAGAIN return
