Subject: [PATCH v1 18/20] perf machine: Fix leak of kernel dso

The kernel dso may be found by searching dsos or allocating if not
found. The allocation returns with a reference count of 2, once for
the dsos list and once for the returned value. The list search has a
reference count of 1, once for the dsos list. To make the reference
counts consistent, increase the dsos list search reference count to 2
with a dso__get, and do a put when the scope ends for either the
allocated or found dso.

This issue was found with leak sanitizer and reference count checking.
