perf parse events: Demystify memory allocations

List heads are currently allocated way down the function chain in
__add_event and add_tracepoint and then freed when the scanner code
calls parse_events_update_lists.

Be more explicit with where memory is allocated and who should free it. With
this patch the list_head is allocated in the scanner code and freed when the
scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists.
