Perf crashes as below when applying --no-group
perf record -e "{cache-misses,branches"} -b sleep 1
perf report --stdio --no-group
free(): invalid next size (fast)
Aborted (core dumped)
In the __hpp__fmt(), only 1 hpp_fmt_value is allocated for the current
event when --no-group is applied. However, the current implementation
tries to assign the hists from all members to the hpp_fmt_value, which
exceeds the allocated memory.
Fixes: 8f6071a3dce4 ("perf hist: Simplify __hpp_fmt() using hpp_fmt_data")
