commit ee8dd3ca43
causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is never
removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though it gets
'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double free when we do
strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted but present in the
rblist.
[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1
[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -d do_fork
Removed event: probe:do_fork

Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the node.
The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete, which will
take care of deleting the node with the suitable function provided by
the user.
