Subject: [PATCH 4/7] perf buildid-list: Fix segfault when show DSOs with hits

From: He Kuang <hekuang@...wei.com>

commit: f3b623b8490a ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread")
appends every thread->node to dead_threads in machine__remove_thread()
and list_del_init() this node in thread__put().

perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using
machine__remove_thread(), and causes a NULL pointer crash when
list_del_init(&thread->node) is called. Fix this by using
machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.

This problem can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf record ls
  $ perf buildid-list --with-hits
  [ 3874.195070] perf[1018]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004b0b15 sp
  00007ffc35b44780 error 6 in perf[400000+166000]
  Segmentation fault

After this patch:
  $ perf record ls
  $ perf buildid-list --with-hits
  bc23e7c3281e542650ba4324421d6acf78f4c23e /proc/kcore
