[PATCH 3.16 036/133] perf events parse: Use just one parse events state struct

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.51-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com>

commit d17d0878f456c8227345b6c76b918ec068fa0abd upstream.

Andi reported problems when parse errors were detected with vendor
events (json), because in the yyparse/parse_events_parse function we
dereferenced the _data parameter to two different structs, with
different layouts, which ended up making parse_events_evlist->error to
point to random stack addresses.

Fix it by making _data to always be struct parse_events_state, changing
the only place where 'struct parse_events_term' was used in
parse_events.y.
