perf parse-events: Fix incorrect conversion of 'if () free()' to 'zfree()'

Browse source

When applying a patch by Ian I incorrectly converted to zfree() an
expression that involved testing some other struct member, not the one
being freed, which lead to bugs reproduceable by:

  $ perf stat -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o sleep 1
  WARNING: multiple event parsing errors
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  $

Fix it by restoring the test for pos->free_str before freeing
pos->val.str, but continue using zfree(&pos->val.str) to set that member
to NULL after freeing it.
