perf tools: Fix build-id event recording
The build-id events written at the end of the record session are broken due to unexpected data. The write_buildid() writes the fixed length event first and then variable length filename. But a recent change made it write more data in the padding area accidentally. So readers of the event see zero-filled data for the next entry and treat it incorrectly. This resulted in wrong kernel symbols because the kernel DSO loaded a random vmlinux image in the path as it didn't have a valid build-id.
