perf annotate: Fix segmentation fault 

Linus reported this perf annotate segfault:

        [torvalds@nehalem git]$ perf annotate unmap_vmas
        Segmentation fault

       	#0  map__clone (self=<value optimized out>) at builtin-annotate.c:236
       	#1  thread__fork (self=<value optimized out>) at builtin-annotate.c:372

The bug here was that builtin-annotate.c was a copy of
builtin-report.c and a threading related fix to builtin-report.c
didnt get propagated to builtin-annotate.c ...
