Tanushree Shah 6c07d49ef3 perf trace-event: Avoid double free and leak in trace_event__cleanup()/trace_event__init()
trace_event__cleanup() frees t->pevent but never clears the
pointer. It can be called twice on the same trace_event: once
from trace_report()'s error path, and again from
perf_session__delete() during session teardown, resulting in a
double free / use-after-free.

Separately, trace_event__init() overwrites t->pevent/t->plugin_list
without releasing any existing handle, leaking memory if it's
called more than once on the same struct. eg. via a perf.data
file with multiple PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA headers.

Guard against re-entry by returning early if t->pevent is already
NULL, and clear it after cleanup so a repeat call is a safe no-op.
Call trace_event__cleanup() at the start of trace_event__init(),
so a repeated init releases any existing handle before allocating
a new one.
