Subject: [PATCH 62/66] perf evlist: Fix access of freed id arrays

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

I'm not fully sure if this is the correct fix, but without this I get
crashes on more complex perf stat metric usages. The problem is that
part of the state gets freed when a weak group fails, but then is later
still used. Just don't free the ids, we're going to reuse them anyways
on the weak group retry.

For example:

  % perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2

  crashes and gives in valgrind:
