perf report: Fix memory leaks in the hierarchy mode
Ian told me that there are many memory leaks in the hierarchy mode. I
can easily reproduce it with the follwing command.
$ make DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS=-fsanitize=leak
$ perf record --latency -g -- ./perf test -w thloop
$ perf report -H --stdio
...
Indirect leak of 168 byte(s) in 21 object(s) allocated from:

$ perf report -H --stdio 2>&1 | grep -c '^Indirect leak'

I found that hist_entry__delete() missed to release child entries in the
hierarchy tree (hroot_{in,out}). It needs to iterate the child entries
and call hist_entry__delete() recursively.
After this change:
$ perf report -H --stdio 2>&1 | grep -c '^Indirect leak'
