Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf/tools: Fix "perf record -C... workload" behaviour

Test-case:

	# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall -C0 true
	true: Terminated

The child process is killed by perf_record__sig_exit(). This is because
perf_evlist__prepare_workload() doesn't initialize threads->map[] and
then perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() (silently!) fails. This patch
seems to fix the problem, but perhaps we should also move
'pr_err("Couldn't run the workload!\n")' down to 'out_delete_session:',
so that the problems like this would be more understandable.
