Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix for double free in tools/perf stat

Fix for double free bug in tools/perf due to dangling thread_map pointer in perf_evlist struct.
Code path excercised when perf stat -C switch is used but not set and is followed by another switch.
Example: perf stat -C -e. 
Signed-off-by: Yasser Shalabi <yassershalabi@...il.com>
