Subject: [PATCH 4/6] perf python: Decrement the refcount of just created event on failure

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

To avoid a leak if we have the python object but then something happens
and we need to return the operation, decrement the offset of the newly
created object.
