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.
