perf tools: Don't keep unreferenced maps when unmaps are detected

For a file with:

[root@emilia linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -D -fi allmodconfig-j32.perf.data | grep events:
TOTAL events: 36933
MMAP events: 9056
LOST events: 0
COMM events: 1702
EXIT events: 1887
THROTTLE events: 8
UNTHROTTLE events: 8
FORK events: 1894

SAMPLE events: 22378
ATTR events: 0
EVENT_TYPE events: 0
TRACING_DATA events: 0

[root@emilia linux-2.6-tip]#

Testing with valgrind and making perf_session__delete() a nop, so that
we can notice how many maps were actually deleted due to not having any
samples on it:

==== HEAP SUMMARY:

Before:

==10339== in use at exit: 8,909,997 bytes in 68,690 blocks
==10339== total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,007 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

After:

==10506== in use at exit: 8,902,605 bytes in 68,606 blocks
==10506== total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,091 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

I.e. just 84 detected unmaps with no hits out of 9056 for this workload,
not much, but in some other long running workload this may save more
bytes.
