Subject[PATCH] perf tools: fix potential memory leak
From
An error may be in place when tracepoint_error is called, use
parse_events__handle_error to avoid a memory leak and to capture the
first and last error. Error detected by LLVM's libFuzzer using the
following event:

$ perf stat -e 'msr/event/,f:e'
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
\___ can't access trace events

Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/f/e
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/'

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
\___ no value assigned for term
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
