Ravi Bangoria 3caeaa5627 perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data 
While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.

Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc35
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").

This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.

This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.

Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.

Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]

  ravi@ravi-bangoria:~$ ./perf kvm record -a
  Warning:
  5903 unprocessable samples recorded.
  Do you have a KVM guest running and not using 'perf kvm'?
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.409 MB perf.data.guest (285 samples) ]

  ravi@ravi-bangoria:~$ ./perf kvm report --stdio

  # (For a higher level overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso)
