perf kvm: fix regression with guest machine creation

Commit 743eb868657bdb1b26c7b24077ca21c67c82c777 reworked when the machines were created. Prior to this commit guest machines could be created in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap() while processing kernel MMAP events. This commit assumes that the machines exist by the time perf_session_deliver_event is called (e.g., during processing of build id events) - which is not always correct.

One example is the use of default guest args (--guestkallsyms and --guestmodules) for short times where no samples hit within a guest module. For this case no build id is added to the file header. No build id == no machine created. That leads to the next example -- the use of no-buildid (-B) on the record for all perf-kvm invocations. In both cases perf report dies with a SEGFAULT of the form:

Fix by allowing the machine to be created in perf_session_deliver_event.

Tested with --guestmount option and default guest args, with and without -B arg on record for both and for short (10 seconds) and long (10 minutes) windows.
