perf/aux: Only update ->aux_wakeup in non-overwrite mode
The following commit: d9a50b02 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index") changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode"). The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite mode aux_watermark stays zero. The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole wakeup updates.
