perf machine: Use last_match threads cache only in single thread mode

perf machine: Use last_match threads cache only in single thread mode

There's an issue with using threads::last_match in multithread mode
which is enabled during the perf top synthesize. It might crash with
following assertion:

  perf: ...include/linux/refcount.h:109: refcount_inc:
        Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.

The gdb backtrace looks like this:

  0x00007ffff50839fb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  (gdb)
  #0  0x00007ffff50839fb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6

The failing assertion is this one:

  REFCOUNT_WARN(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r), ...

the problem is that we don't serialize access to threads::last_match.
We serialize the access to the threads tree, but we don't care how's
threads::last_match being accessed. Both locked/unlocked paths use
that data and can set it. In multithreaded mode we can end up with
invalid object in thread__get call, like in following paths race:

  thread 1
    ...
    machine__findnew_thread
      down_write(&threads->lock);
      __machine__findnew_thread
        ____machine__findnew_thread
          th = threads->last_match;
          if (th->tid == tid) {
            thread__get

  thread 2
    ...
    machine__find_thread
      down_read(&threads->lock);
      __machine__findnew_thread
        ____machine__findnew_thread
          th = threads->last_match;
          if (th->tid == tid) {
            thread__get

  thread 3
    ...
    machine__process_fork_event
      machine__remove_thread
        __machine__remove_thread
          threads->last_match = NULL
          thread__put
      thread__put

Thread 1 and 2 might got stale last_match, before thread 3 clears
it. Thread 1 and 2 then race with thread 3's thread__put and they
might trigger the refcnt == 0 assertion above.

The patch is disabling the last_match cache for multiple thread
mode. It was originally meant for single thread scenarios, where
it's common to have multiple sequential searches of the same
thread.

In multithread mode this does not make sense, because top's threads
processes different /proc entries and so the 'struct threads' object
is queried for various threads. Moreover we'd need to add more locks
to make it work.
