Namhyung Kim 513068f2b1 perf stat: Fix use-after-free when -r option is used
I got a segfault when using -r option with event groups.  The option
makes it run the workload multiple times and it will reuse the evlist
and evsel for each run.

While most of resources are allocated and freed properly, the id hash
in the evlist was not and it resulted in the bug.  You can see it with
the address sanitizer like below:

  $ perf stat -r 100 -e '{cycles,instructions}' true

Actually the nodes in the hash table are struct perf_stream_id and
they were freed in the previous run.  Fix it by resetting the hash.

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.
