Since perf_session__register_idle_thread() got the idle thread,
caller functions have to put it afterwards.
Note that since the thread was already inserted to the session
list, it will be released when the session is released.
Also, in perf_session__register_idle_thread() failure path,
the thread should be put before returning.
Refcnt debugger shows that the perf_session__register_idle_thread
gets the returned thread, but the caller (__cmd_top) does not
put the returned idle thread.
