perf session: Cache sample objects

When the sample queue is flushed we free the sample reference objects. Though
we need to malloc new objects when we process further. Stop the malloc/free
orgy and cache the already allocated object for resuage. Only allocate when
the cache is empty.

Performance gain: ~ 10%
