Subject: perf parse: Add parse events handle error

Parse event error handling may overwrite one error string with another
creating memory leaks. Introduce a helper routine that warns about
multiple error messages as well as avoiding the memory leak.

A reproduction of this problem can be seen with:

  perf stat -e c/c/

After this change this produces:
WARNING: multiple event parsing errors
event syntax error: 'c/c/'
                       \___ unknown term

valid terms: event,filter_rem,filter_opc0,edge,filter_isoc,filter_tid,filter_loc,filter_nc,inv,umask,filter_opc1,tid_en,thresh,filter_all_op,filter_not_nm,filter_state,filter_nm,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
