For a file with:

Testing with valgrind and making perf_session__delete() a nop, so that
we can notice how many maps were actually deleted due to not having any
samples on it:

==== HEAP SUMMARY:

Before:

==10339==     in use at exit: 8,909,997 bytes in 68,690 blocks
==10339==   total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,007 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

After:

==10506==     in use at exit: 8,902,605 bytes in 68,606 blocks
==10506==   total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,091 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

I.e. just 84 detected unmaps with no hits out of 9056 for this workload,
not much, but in some other long running workload this may save more
bytes.
