We wouldn't have to do that scan of the data at the end if we have the
build-id in the MMAP3 records.

We don't have to, we never did that at 'perf record' time, this is
something for 'perf archive' to do, see below.

But with the build id in the MMAPs we wouldn't need to scan anything at
'perf record' time, just at 'perf archive' time, where we would scan
everything, and as soon as we find a hit, we add that DSO to the list of
things we need to put in the tarball.
