IIRC it has to first pass thru:

machine__remove_thread() that will remove the reference count obtained
when inserting the thread on the rbtree and move it to the dead_threads
list, where it will stay until the last reference count obtained when
adding the thread to some hist_entry is finally dropped via
thread__put().
