perf mem: Fix the wrong reference in parse_record_events()

A segmentation fault can be triggered when running
'perf mem record -e ldlat-loads'

The commit 35b38a71c92fa033 ("perf mem: Rework command option handling")
moves the OPT_CALLBACK of event from __cmd_record() to cmd_mem().

When invoking the __cmd_record(), the 'mem' has been referenced (&).

So the &mem passed into the parse_record_events() is a double reference
(&&) of the original struct perf_mem mem.

But in the cmd_mem(), the &mem is the single reference (&) of the
original struct perf_mem mem.
