perf lock: Don't free "lock_seq_stat" if read_count isn't zero
When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log as follows: perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq->read_count < 0)' failed. Aborted This is an imbalance issue. The locking sequence structure "lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing. If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero, the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally results in imbalance issue. To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still have read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip freeing structure "lock_seq_stat".
