commit ee8dd3ca43f151d9fbe1edeef68fb8a77eb9f047

causes a double free during a probe deletion as the node is never
removed from the list via strlist__remove(), even though it gets
'deleted' (read free()'d). This causes a double free when we do
strlist__delete() as the node is already deleted but present in the
rblist.

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
  probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

[suzukikp@suzukikp perf]$ sudo ./perf probe -d do_fork
Removed event: probe:do_fork
*** glibc detected *** ./perf: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000133d600 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6[0x38eec7dda6]
./perf(rblist__delete+0x5c)[0x47d3dc]
./perf(del_perf_probe_events+0xb6)[0x47b826]
./perf(cmd_probe+0x471)[0x42c8d1]

/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed)[0x38eec2169d]
./perf[0x414a61]

Make sure we remove the node from the rblist before we delete the node.
The rblist__remove_node() will invoke rblist->node_delete, which  will
take care of deleting the node with the suitable function provided by
the user.
