perf stat: Fix use-after-freed pointer detected by the smatch tool

[ Upstream commit c74b05030edb3b52f4208d8415b8c933bc509a29 ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the use-after-freed
pointer.

  tools/perf/builtin-stat.c:1353
  add_default_attributes() warn: passing freed memory 'str'.

The pointer 'str' has been freed but later it is still passed into the
function parse_events_print_error().  This patch fixes this
use-after-freed issue.
