I think that's fine, machine__findnew_dso_id takes the dso ref so
the real 'release' is when the machine object goes down at dsos__purge

as for the partial changes I think it's also fine, because it happens
at separate places.. we'd need to investigate specific example to see
if there's a problem

the change above should do it.. as for top threads I don't think
it actually matters because there's events processing and hists
processing, and I did not find them clashing in this.. but there's
some setup session code that touches this, so it's better to be safe
