[PATCHv2 0/4] perf tools: Fix top crashes

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
perf top is occasionaly crashes on hitting assert, because of
the synthesize function that runs on multiple threads now.

I found some issues with list/tree accessing and this patchset
is trying to fix them.

I was runing 'perf top' in a loop with attached change below
and haven't hit any other new crash. We're either clear now
or it's really hard to hit the rest ;-)

v2 changes:
  - remove the 'struct comm_str' only in the comm_str__put
    when the refcnt drops to 0 (Namhyung)

thanks,
jirka
