perf_event__preprocess_sample calls thread__find_addr_map which sets 
al->thread and the preprocess_sample is invoked prior to process_event, 
so it should be fine.

That said, I would like to test it. Unfortunately I am knee deep 
debugging some local perf breakage. Give me a couple of days to get back 
to this.
