Probably because when 'perf buildid-list' was introduced 'perf record'
was inserting all the PERF_RECORD_MMAP dsos into the buildid-list, not
just the ones with hits.

Then, later on, 'perf record' probably moved to register just the ones
with hits.

This way -H ends up being a nop, i.e. should produce the same result as
'perf buildid-list' with no options.

If it doesn't, then it is a bug.
