Subject: [PATCH -stable 2.6.35.x] perf session: Invalidate last_match when
 removing threads from rb_tree

Hi,

This patch was applied few releases ago but lacked a tag
for stable.

Is it possible to backport it for 2.6.35.x?

Thanks.

perf session: Invalidate last_match when removing threads from rb_tree
    
If we receive two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread, we can end up
reusing session->last_match and trying to remove the thread twice from
the rb_tree, causing a segfault, so invalidade last_match in
perf_session__remove_thread.
  
Receiving two PERF_RECORD_EXIT for the same thread is a bug, but its a
harmless one if we make the tool more robust, like this patch does.
