I thought the debuginfod was for perf report, not record.
Maybe I'm missing something but how about moving it to
report?  We can talk to debuginfod after checking the local
build-id cache and binary on the system.

Still, we can have perf buildid-cache to move it from the
debuginfod to local cache.

Thanks,
