Buffers can get un-mapped earlier as tasks exit. Refer
perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() -> perf_evlist__munmap_filtered().
Maybe we should prevent that for this case.
e.g. do perf_mmap__get()'s on the mmaps at the start, and then 'put' them
all here.

You are assuming you know what every ->snapshot_finish() does. It would be
better to pass on_exit to ->snapshot_finish().
