perf thread: Remove notion of dead threads

Browse Source 
The dead thread list is best effort. Threads live on it until the
reference count hits zero and they are removed. With correct reference
counting this should never happen. It is, however, part of the 'perf
sched' output that is now removed. If this is an issue we should
implement tracking of dead threads in a robust not best-effort way.
