perf sched: Clean up idle_threads entry on init failure

get_idle_thread() allocates a thread via thread__new() and stores it in
idle_threads[cpu], then calls init_idle_thread() to set up the private
data.  If init_idle_thread() fails (e.g. OOM for the idle_thread_runtime
struct), the function returns NULL but leaves the partially initialized
thread in idle_threads[cpu].

On subsequent calls for the same CPU, get_idle_thread() finds a non-NULL
idle_threads[cpu], skips allocation, and returns thread__get() on a
thread that has no priv data.  Callers then get a thread whose
thread__priv() returns NULL, leading to unexpected behavior.

Release the thread and reset the slot to NULL on init failure so the
entry doesn't persist in a corrupted state.
