perf kvm: Delete histograms entries before exiting

It's good not to release resources for a program when kernel cleans up
memory space, this patch explicitly releases histograms entries with
hists__delete_entries().

Committer notice:

This helps with memory leak checkers, but may delay exiting a tool by
doing needless linked list traversals freeing lots of objects.
