Yang Jihong 17f9131ef7 perf record: Fix segfault with --overwrite and --max-size
[ Upstream commit 91621be65d ]

When --overwrite and --max-size options of perf record are used
together, a segmentation fault occurs. The following is an example:

  # perf record -e sched:sched* --overwrite --max-size 1K -a -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  perf: Segmentation fault

The reason is that record__bytes_written accesses the freed memory rec->thread_data,
The process is as follows:
  __cmd_record
    -> record__free_thread_data
      -> zfree(&rec->thread_data)         // free rec->thread_data
    -> record__synthesize
      -> perf_event__synthesize_id_index
        -> process_synthesized_event
          -> record__write
            -> record__bytes_written      // access rec->thread_data

We add a member variable "thread_bytes_written" in the struct "record"
to save the data size written by the threads.
