[PATCH 2/2] perf c2c: Clean up registered formats on c2c_hists__init() failure

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

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

When c2c_hists__init() calls hpp_list__parse() and it fails partway
through, format structures registered via perf_hpp_list__column_register()
and perf_hpp_list__register_sort_field() are left on the hpp_list.  The
c2c_he__alloc_hists() caller handles this with
perf_hpp__reset_output_field(),
but perf_c2c_report() does not, leaking the partially registered entries.

Fix by adding cleanup inside c2c_hists__init() itself, so all callers
are protected.

Fixes: 78b275437873 ("perf c2c report: Add sample processing")
