[PATCH v1 1/4] perf record: Delete session after stopping sideband thread

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri Mar 01 2024 - 02:47:17 EST


The session has a header in it which contains a perf env with
bpf_progs. The bpf_progs are accessed by the sideband thread and so
the sideband thread must be stopped before the session is deleted, to
avoid a use after free. This error was detected by AddressSanitizer
in the following:

```
