perf callchain: Reference count maps

If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor.  Use the
existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the
cursor iterates past the node.
