From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c74b05030edb3b52f4208d8415b8c933bc509a29 ] Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the use-after-freed pointer. tools/perf/builtin-stat.c:1353 add_default_attributes() warn: passing freed memory 'str'. The pointer 'str' has been freed but later it is still passed into the function parse_events_print_error(). This patch fixes this use-after-freed issue.
