From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7fcdccd4237724931d9773d1e3039bfe053a6f52 ] When applying a patch by Ian I incorrectly converted to zfree() an expression that involved testing some other struct member, not the one being freed, which lead to bugs reproduceable by: $ perf stat -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o sleep 1 WARNING: multiple event parsing errors Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ Fix it by restoring the test for pos->free_str before freeing pos->val.str, but continue using zfree(&pos->val.str) to set that member to NULL after freeing it.
