Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix segfault in cpu_cache_level__read()
We release wrong pointer on error path in cpu_cache_level__read
function, leading to segfault:
(gdb) r record ls
Starting program: /root/perf/tools/perf/perf record ls
...
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
double free or corruption (out)
