perf test: Fix maps use after put
Fix a use after put reference count issue. maps is copied from leader, but the leader is put on line 79 and then maps is used to read the reference count below - so a use after put, with the put of maps happening within thread__put. Fix by reversing the order of puts so that the leader is put last. To explain the reference count checker, I wrote this up as a little example here: https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking Note, the bug was introduced by the committer and wasn't present in the original reference count patch set. Committer notes: Yes, the bug predated your patch and is detected by the reference count checking you contributed. This was just part of splitting up your series into smaller chunks, in this case either we fix the problem detected while developing this reference counting infrastructure before the patch introducing REFCNT_CHECKING or fix it later after the merged infrastructure, when built with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DREFCNT_CHECKING=1" detects it when running 'perf test', which is what this patch does.
