perf inject: Fix --buildid-all not to eat up MMAP2



When MMAP2 has the PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID flag, it means the
record already has the build-id info.  So it marks the DSO as hit, to
skip if the same DSO is not processed if it happens to miss the build-id
later.

But it missed to copy the MMAP2 record itself so it'd fail to symbolize
samples for those regions.

For example, the following generates 249 MMAP2 events.

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- true | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:        249  (86.8%)

Adding perf inject should not change the number of events like this

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- true | perf inject -b | \
  > perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:        249  (86.5%)

But when --buildid-all is used, it eats most of the MMAP2 events.

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- true | perf inject -b --buildid-all | \
  > perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:          1  ( 2.5%)

With this patch, it shows the original number now.

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- true | perf inject -b --buildid-all | \
  > perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:        249  (86.5%)

Committer testing:

Before:

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf inject -b | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:         58  (36.2%)
  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:         58  (36.2%)
  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf inject -b --buildid-all | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:          2  ( 1.9%)
  $

After:

  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf inject -b | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:         58  (29.3%)
  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:         58  (34.3%)
  $ perf record --buildid-mmap -o- perf stat --null sleep 1 2> /dev/null | perf inject -b --buildid-all | perf report --stat -i- | grep MMAP2
           MMAP2 events:         58  (38.4%)
  $
