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.
