There is a double free in event_read_fields(). After calling free_token() to free the token, if append() failed, then goto fail, which will call free_token() again. Triggered by compiling with perf and run "perf sched record". Fix the double free by goto fail_expect instead of fail while append() failed, which won't call redundant free_token().
