perf pmu: Avoid uninitialized use of alias->str
alias is allocated with malloc allowing uninitialized memory to be
accessed.
The initialization of str was moved late after it could have been
updated by a JSON event, however, this create a potential for an
uninitialized use.
Fix this by assigning str to NULL early.
Testing on ARM (Raspberry Pi) showed a memory leak in the same code so
add a zfree.
