When I loaded two trace.dat files (host and guest), but the mapping of
which host thread is associated to which guest vCPU was missing from the
file, it caused a SEGFAULT. That's because in fillTaskGraph(), the
lamGetPidCPU() calls ksmodule_get_cpu_front() which returns a negative
number and does not set index. But the next line checks data[index] where
index is some random number, and the application crashes.

By checking the return of ksmodule_get_cpu_front(), and if it is negative
do not reference data[index] and just let eFront be nullptr, the
application shows no mapping, but at least it does not crash.

I wonder why this fails? Is it because "pid" is negative? The fix below 
is appropriate, however we should detect negative PIDs and abort 
plotting much earlier.

Thanks!

I believe the issue is that we failed to map which host task goes with
which guest vCPUU, and just randomly picked one (or none).

I fixed trace-cmd to get the mappings when qemu is not found, and
KernelShark works fine on that case. This bug only appears when it can't
find the host thread that corresponds to the guest vCPU.

What should I do to make it SEGFAULT?

I am applying this one.

Thanks Steven!
