In error case, free event->vm instead of vm to avoid this warning in

This is an insufficient justification. We normally don't modify the code
_only_ to silence coverity.
The reasoning is that it can be either fixed by coverity at some point,
or worse coverity once again starting to report a problem with the code
because of a different issue.
You can try to come up with a commit message that justifies the change
in a different way which would be accepted normally.
(E.g. "making it obvious to the reader".)
