perf machine: Use hashtable for machine threads



To process any events, it needs to find the thread in the machine first.
The machine maintains a rb tree to store all threads. The rb tree is
protected by a rw lock.

It is not a problem for current perf which serially processing events.
However, it will have scalability performance issue to process events in
parallel, especially on a heavy load system which have many threads.

Introduce a hashtable to divide the big rb tree into many samll rb tree
for threads. The index is thread id % hashtable size. It can reduce the
lock contention.

Committer notes:

Renamed some variables and function names to reduce semantic confusion:

  'struct threads' pointers: thread -> threads
  threads hastable index: tid -> hash_bucket
  struct threads *machine__thread() -> machine__threads()
  Cast tid to (unsigned int) to handle -1 in machine__threads() (Kan Liang)
