Nope, don't change conventions like taht, a delete method should not
receive a pointer to the pointer to be deleted, no odd cases, please.

If you really think this is interesting, please introduce zdelete(),
i.e.:

void perf_config_set__zdelete(struct perf_config_set **set)
{
	if (!set)
		return;

	perf_config_set__delete(*set);
	*set = NULL;
}
