[PATCH] perf: Fix AUX record suppression

[Alexander Shishkin]

Commit 1627314fb54a33e ("perf: Suppress AUX/OVERWRITE records") has an
unintended side-effect of also suppressing all AUX records with no flags
and non-zero size, so all the regular records in the full trace mode.
This breaks some use cases for people.

Fix this by restoring "regular" AUX records.
