perf script: Fix allocation of evsel->priv related to per-event dump files
When printing output we may want to generate per event files, where the --per-event-dump option should be used, creating perf.data.EVENT.dump files instead of printing to stdout. The callback thar processes event thus expects that evsel->priv->fp should point to either the per-event FILE descriptor or to stdout. The a3af66f5 ("perf script: Fix crash because of missing evsel->priv") changeset fixed a case where evsel->priv wasn't setup, thus set to NULL, causing a segfault when trying to access evsel->priv->fp. But it did it for the non --per-event-dump case by allocating a 'struct perf_evsel_script' just to set its ->fp to stdout. Since evsel->priv is only freed when --per-event-dump is used, we ended up with a memory leak, detected using ASAN. Fix it by using the same method as perf_script__setup_per_event_dump(), and reuse that static 'struct perf_evsel_script'. Also check if evsel_script__new() failed.
