Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] perf trace: Add missed freeing of ordered events and thread

Caught by leak sanitizer running "perf trace BTF general tests". Make
the ordered_events initialization unconditional and early so that
trace__exit cleanup is simple - ordered_events__init doesn't allocate
and just sets up 4 values and inits 3 list heads.

Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@...gle.com>

v2: Move the init code to avoid segv found by Arnaldo.
