perf tools: Fix struct comm_str removal crash

perf tools: Fix struct comm_str removal crash

[ Upstream commit 46b3722cc7765582354488da633aafffcb138458 ]

We occasionaly hit following assert failure in 'perf top', when processing the
/proc info in multiple threads.

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

The gdb backtrace looks like this:

The failing assertion is this one:

  REFCOUNT_WARN(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r), ...

The problem is that we keep global comm_str_root list, which
is accessed by multiple threads during the 'perf top' startup
and following 2 paths can race:

  thread 1:
    ...
    thread__new
      comm__new
        comm_str__findnew
          down_write(&comm_str_lock);
          __comm_str__findnew
            comm_str__get

  thread 2:
    ...
    comm__override or comm__free
      comm_str__put
        refcount_dec_and_test
          down_write(&comm_str_lock);
          rb_erase(&cs->rb_node, &comm_str_root);

Because thread 2 first decrements the refcnt and only after then it removes the
struct comm_str from the list, the thread 1 can find this object on the list
with refcnt equls to 0 and hit the assert.

This patch fixes the thread 1 __comm_str__findnew path, by ignoring objects
that already dropped the refcnt to 0. For the rest of the objects we take the
refcnt before comparing its name and release it afterwards with comm_str__put,
which can also release the object completely.
