perf trace: Really free the evsel->priv area
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf trace: Really free the evsel->priv area
In 3cb4d5e00e037c70 ("perf trace: Free syscall tp fields in
evsel->priv") it only was freeing if strcmp(evsel->tp_format->system,
"syscalls") returned zero, while the corresponding initialization of
evsel->priv was being performed if it was _not_ zero, i.e. if the tp
system wasn't 'syscalls'.
Just stop looking for that and free it if evsel->priv was set, which
should be equivalent.
Also use the pre-existing evsel_trace__delete() function.
This resolves these leaks, detected with:
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/perf-tools-next -C tools/perf install-bin

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
