perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXIT

Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.

This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.

The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.
