When applying a patch by Ian I incorrectly converted to zfree() an
expression that involved testing some other struct member, not the one
being freed, which lead to bugs reproduceable by:
$ perf stat -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o sleep 1
WARNING: multiple event parsing errors
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
Fix it by restoring the test for pos->free_str before freeing
pos->val.str, but continue using zfree(&pos->val.str) to set that member
to NULL after freeing it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
