Andi Kleen 7834fa948b perf evlist: Fix access of freed id arrays
I'm not fully sure if this is the correct fix, but without this I get
crashes on more complex perf stat metric usages. The problem is that
part of the state gets freed when a weak group fails, but then is later
still used. Just don't free the ids, we're going to reuse them anyways
on the weak group retry.

For example:

  % perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2

  crashes and gives in valgrind:

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.
