Currently, timeless mode starts the decode on PERF_RECORD_EXIT, and
non-timeless mode starts decoding on the fist PERF_RECORD_AUX record.

This can cause the "data has no samples!" error if the first
PERF_RECORD_AUX record comes before the first (or any relevant)
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record because the mmaps are required by the decoder
to access the binary data.

This change pushes the start of non-timeless decoding to the very end of
parsing the file. The PERF_RECORD_EXIT event can't be used because it
might not exist in system-wide or snapshot modes.

This looks good to me but I'd like to have other people testing it.
So Leo reviewed and tested this, I'm taking your "looks good to me" as
an Acked-by, as per Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.
