[PATCH v3 3/5] perf trace-event: Avoid double free in trace_event__cleanup()

trace_event__cleanup() frees t->pevent but never clears the
pointer. It can be called twice on the same trace_event: once
from trace_report()'s error path, and again from
perf_session__delete() during session teardown, resulting in a
double free / use-after-free.

Guard against re-entry by returning early if t->pevent is already
NULL, and clear it after cleanup so a repeat call is a safe no-op.
