[PATCH 03/16] perf thread: Fix reference count initial state

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the
object with a reference count of one, so that:

     struct thread *thread = thread__new();
     thread__put(thread);

Will call thread__delete().

If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use
thread__get(thread) to hold a reference.

We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases
where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem
because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use
thread__put() instead.
