perf trace: Really free the evsel->priv area
[ Upstream commit 7962ef13651a9163f07b530607392ea123482e8a ]
In 3cb4d5e00e037c70 ("perf trace: Free syscall tp fields in
evsel->priv") it only was freeing if strcmp(evsel->tp_format->system,
"syscalls") returned zero, while the corresponding initialization of
evsel->priv was being performed if it was _not_ zero, i.e. if the tp
system wasn't 'syscalls'.
Just stop looking for that and free it if evsel->priv was set, which
should be equivalent.
Also use the pre-existing evsel_trace__delete() function.
This resolves these leaks, detected with:
