4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 201c2f85bd0bc13b712d9c0b3d11251b182e06ae ]
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.
