| |
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
When perf_add_probe_events() we call cleanup_perf_probe_events() for the pev pointer it receives, then, as part of handling this failure the main 'perf probe' goes on and calls cleanup_params() and that will again call cleanup_perf_probe_events()for the same pointer, so just set nevents to zero when handling the failure of perf_add_probe_events() to avoid the double free.
