Unfamiliar way of doing it, usually we do it like:

        vcpu = realloc(event->vcpu, event->max_vcpu * sizeof(*event->vcpu));

        if (!vcpu) {
                pr_err("Not enough memory\n");
                return -1;
        }

        event->vcpu = vcpu;

I.e. we don't trow away the old value of event->vcpu.

right. Command is going to exit on a failure, so leaving the old value does not have any impact. I can leave the old if you want it for consistency.
