[PATCH 1/9] perf tools: Fix crash in perf_hpp__reset_output_field

[Jiri Olsa]

Du Changbin reported crash [1] when calling perf_hpp__reset_output_field
after unregistering field via perf_hpp__column_unregister.

This ends up in calling following list_del* sequence on
the same format:

  perf_hpp__column_unregister:
    list_del(&format->list);
  perf_hpp__reset_output_field:
    list_del_init(&fmt->list);

where the later list_del_init might touch already
freed formats.

Fixing this by replacing list_del with list_del_init
in perf_hpp__column_unregister.
