perf callchain: Fix stitch LBR memory leaks

The 'struct callchain_cursor_node' has a 'struct map_symbol' whose maps
and map members are reference counted. Ensure these values use a _get
routine to increment the reference counts and use map_symbol__exit() to
release the reference counts.

Do similar for 'struct thread's prev_lbr_cursor, but save the size of
the prev_lbr_cursor array so that it may be iterated.

Ensure that when stitch_nodes are placed on the free list the
map_symbols are exited.

Fix resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() by replacing list_replace_init() to
list_splice_init(), so the whole list is moved and nodes aren't leaked.

A reproduction of the memory leaks is possible with a leak sanitizer
build in the perf report command of:

  ```
  $ perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr perf test -w thloop
  $ perf report --stitch-lbr
  ```
