Subject: [PATCH 1/8] perf hists: Fix crash in perf_hpp__reset_output_field()

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>

Du Changbin reported crash [1] when calling perf_hpp__reset_output_field()
after unregistering field via perf_hpp__column_unregister().

This ends up in calling following list_del* sequence on
the same format:

  perf_hpp__column_unregister:
    list_del(&format->list);
  perf_hpp__reset_output_field:
    list_del_init(&fmt->list);

where the later list_del_init might touch already freed formats.

Fixing this by replacing list_del() with list_del_init() in
perf_hpp__column_unregister().
