[PATCH 5.13 055/223] perf test event_update: Fix memory leak of unit

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 26 2021 - 12:31:52 EST


From: Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dccfca926c351ba0893af4c8b481477bdb2881a4 ]

ASan reports a memory leak while running:

# perf test "49: Synthesize attr update"

Caused by a string being duplicated but never freed.

This patch adds the missing free().

Note that evsel->unit is not deallocated together with evsel since it is
supposed to be a constant string.
