From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>
On older (v4.4) kernels, the annoying fallback message can be observed
in 'perf top'.
The 'perf top' has been changed to overwrite mode since
'commit ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode")'
For the older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, the 'perf
top' will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback
message by ui__warning, which needs user's input to close.
The fallback message is not critical message for end users. Turning it
to debug message which is printed when running with -vv.
