The evlist is allocated at the beginning of cmd_record(). Also free-ing thread masks should be paired with record__init_thread_masks() which is called right before __cmd_record(). Let's change the order of these functions to release the resources correctly in case of errors. This is maybe fine as the process exits, but it might be a problem if it manages some system-wide resources that live longer than the process.
