perf record: Don't try to find buildids in a zero sized file
Fixing this symptom:
[acme@mica linux-2.6-tip]$ perf record -a -f
Fatal: Permission error - are you root?
Bus error
[acme@mica linux-2.6-tip]$
I.e. if for some reason no data is collected, in this case a non
root user trying to do systemwide profiling, no data will be
collected, and then we end up trying to mmap a zero sized file
and access the file header, b00m.
