    perf thread: Fixes to thread__new() related to initializing comm
    
    [ Upstream commit 3536c2575e88a890cf696b4ccd3da36bc937853b ]
    
    Freeing the thread on failure won't work with reference count checking,
    use thread__delete().
    
    Don't allocate the comm_str, use a stack allocation instead.
