[PATCH perf/core] perf script: fix a use after free crash.

From: Krister Johansen
Date: Sat Oct 01 2016 - 23:14:06 EST


If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this cursor with the invalid
map. Use the existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a
map until the cursor iterates past the node.
