perf: Fix failing inherit_event() doing extra refcount decrement on parent

When inherit_event() fails after the child allocation but before the
parent refcount has been incremented, calling put_event() wrongly
decrements the reference to the parent, risking to free it too early.

Also pmu_get_event() can't be holding a reference to the child
concurrently at this point since it is under pmus_srcu critical section.

Fix it with restoring the deleted free_event() function and call it on
the failing child in order to free it directly under the verified
assumption that its refcount is only 1. The refcount to the parent is
then voluntarily omitted.
