perf tools: Fix segfault in cpu_cache_level__read()

Browse Source 
We release wrong pointer on error path in cpu_cache_level__read
function, leading to segfault:

  (gdb) r record ls
  Starting program: /root/perf/tools/perf/perf record ls
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  double free or corruption (out)

  Thread 1 "perf" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
