perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXIT
For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much. Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit (PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received. For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be done in a followup patch. Cc: David S.
