perf kvm: Set name for VM process in guest machine

COMM events are not generated in the context of a guest machine, so the
thread name is never set for the VMM process. For example, the qemu-kvm
name applies to the process in the host machine, not the guest machine.
So, samples for guest machines are currently displayed as:

99.67% :5671 [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff81366b41

where 5671 is the pid of the VMM. With this patch the samples in the guest
machine are shown as:

18.43% [guest/5671] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff810d68b7

perf annotate: Validate addr in symbol__inc_addr_samples

This routine was checking only if the provided address was after
sym->end, not if it was before sym->start.

Fix that by checking for both and return in both cases -ERANGE, so that
tools can communicate this to the user properly, or if they chose so, to
abort.

This problem was reported previously but the fixes involved either doing
what was being done for the > end case, i.e. silently drop the sample,
returning 0, or aborting at this function, which is in a lib (or better,
is slated to be at some point) and shouldn't abort.

The 'report' tool already checks this value and uses pr_debug to warn
the user.

This patch makes the 'top' tool check it too and warn once per map where
such range problem takes place.

Testing with valgrind and making perf_session__delete() a nop, so that
we can notice how many maps were actually deleted due to not having any
samples on it:

==== HEAP SUMMARY:

Before:

==10339== in use at exit: 8,909,997 bytes in 68,690 blocks
==10339== total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,007 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

After:

==10506== in use at exit: 8,902,605 bytes in 68,606 blocks
==10506== total heap usage: 78,696 allocs, 10,091 frees, 11,925,853 bytes allocated

I.e. just 84 detected unmaps with no hits out of 9056 for this workload,
not much, but in some other long running workload this may save more
bytes.

perf session: Free the ref_reloc_sym memory at the right place

Which is at perf_session__destroy_kernel_maps, counterpart to the
perf_session__create_kernel_maps where the kmap structure is located, just
after the vmlinux_maps.

Make it also check if the kernel maps were actually created, which may not
be the case if, for instance, perf_session__new can't complete due to
permission problems in, for instance, a 'perf report' case, when a
segfault will take place, that is how this was noticed.

The problem was introduced in d65a458, thus post .35.

This also adds code to release guest machines as them are also created
in perf_session__create_kernel_maps, so should be deleted on this newly
introduced counterpart, perf_session__destroy_kernel_maps.

For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the
amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much.

Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can
just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit
(PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received.

For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus
hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be
done in a followup patch.
