Nop, it'll release all the hash nodes (pmu). Each evsel can come
from a same PMU.

Yeah, that's a problem when we should release it. Maybe we can
add a function and call it in the exit path but I didn't want to change
all the callsites just for this.
As evsel__delete() is called in the exit path, I thought it's a
place where we can free the hashmap. But I'm not very happy
with that either.. Do you have a better idea?
If another evsel is open after this function, I think it should
be fine since it will create a new hash map and check the
missing feature again.

Ok, will change.
