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.
