Split into two patches, as one fixes one long standing problem (from
2017:

    perf trace: Fix leaks of 'struct thread' in set_filter_loop_pids()
    
    I've found some leaks from 'perf trace -a'.
    
    It seems there are more leaks but this is what I can find for now.
    
    Fixes: 082ab9a18e532864 ("perf trace: Filter out 'sshd' in the tracer ancestry in syswide tracing")

But the other fixes a more recent bug:

    perf trace: Fix leaks of 'struct thread' in fprintf_sys_enter()
    
    I've found some leaks from 'perf trace -a'.
    
    It seems there are more leaks but this is what I can find for now.
    
    Fixes: 70351029b55677eb ("perf thread: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a thread")
