It'll be when the last reference to that thread is released.

If after the session ends you have no more need for those thread stacks,
that is the right way to do it.
With tools like 'report', after the session ends we should have all the
unreferenced threads deleted.
Previously they were not being deleted at all, i.e. they were simply
moved to the dead_threads list and sat there because I didn't knew if
some hist_entry, say, had a pointer to it.
So, unless I am missing something, this patch is required irrespective
of thread refcounting, no?
I'm applying it to my work branch where I'm trying to test all this.
