perf machine: Initialize machine->env to address a segfault
[ Upstream commit 88a6e2f67cc94f751a74409ab4c21e5fc8ea6757 ]
Its used from trace__run(), for the 'perf trace' live mode, i.e. its
strace-like, non-perf.data file processing mode, the most common one.
The trace__run() function will set trace->host using machine__new_host()
that is supposed to give a machine instance representing the running
machine, and since we'll use perf_env__arch_strerrno() to get the right
errno -> string table, we need to use machine->env, so initialize it in
machine__new_host().
Before the patch:
(gdb) run trace --errno-summary -a sleep 1
