From 201c2f85bd0bc13b712d9c0b3d11251b182e06ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 10:02:42 +0200 Subject: perf/core: Don't leak event in the syscall error path In the error path, event_file not being NULL is used to determine whether the event itself still needs to be free'd, so fix it up to avoid leaking.
