Subject: [PATCH 3/7] parse-events: Introduce extend_token()

The __read_token() function has some duplicated code to handle
internal buffer overflow. Factor them out to new extend_token().

According to the man pages of realloc/free(3), they can handle
NULL pointer input so that it can be ended up to compact the code.
Also handle error path correctly.
