perf trace: Keep exited threads for summary

Since 9ffa6c7512ca ("perf machine thread: Remove exited threads by
default") perf cleans exited threads up, but as said, sometimes they
are necessary to be kept. The mentioned commit does not cover all the
cases, we also need the information to construct the summary table in
perf-trace.

Before:
    # perf trace -s true

     Summary of events:

After:
    # perf trace -s -- true

     Summary of events:

     true (383382), 64 events, 91.4%
