Subject: [PATCH 9/9] perf: timechart: Fix memleak

There are others, but these are not worth it, e.g. built
up power event list which gets destroyed on program exit anyway or
some bytes when trace events get parsed.

This one showed by far the biggest memory waste, was easy to
fix and could help when parsing huge trace event records.
