perf/ring_buffer: Fix AUX record suppression
The following 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.
