CoreSight doesn't allocate thread structure for unknown_thread in etm
auxtrace, so unknown_thread is NULL pointer.  If the perf data doesn't
contain valid tid and then cs_etm__mem_access() uses unknown_thread
instead as thread handler, this results in segmentation fault when
thread__find_addr_map() accesses thread handler.

This commit creates new thread data which is used by unknown_thread, so
CoreSight tracing can roll back to use unknown_thread if perf data
doesn't include valid thread info.  This commit also releases thread
data for initialization failure case and for normal auxtrace free flow.

Thanks, applied to perf/urgent.

And please use a more descriptive, eye catching summary, something like:

  perf cs-etm: Fix segfault when accessing NULL unknown_thread variable

Thanks for suggestion.  Indeed, this patch is a fix rather than
a new feature, subject should reflect it.

Thanks,
