I´m converting this to:

	zfree(&map->event_copy);

Hopefully we'll find some tool to flag these before submitting patches,
does clang-tidy do these kinds of things?

Also, applied:

 b4 am -P2,4-7 -ctsl --cc-trailers 20231127220902.1315692-1-irogers@...gle.com

The ones that Namhyung acked and that applied cleanly in order.

The first one, as Namhyung noted, is already merged.
