commit ee8dd3ca43f151d9fbe1edeef68fb8a77eb9f047

causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is
never removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though
it gets 'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double
free when we do strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted
but present in the rblist.

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -d do_fork
Removed event: probe:do_fork
*** glibc detected *** ./perf: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000133d600 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6[0x38eec7dda6]
./perf(rblist__delete+0x5c)[0x47d3dc]
./perf(del_perf_probe_events+0xb6)[0x47b826]

./perf[0x414a61]


Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the
node. The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete,
which will take care of deleting the node with the suitable function
provided by the user.
