[PATCH 11/11] perf symbols: Fix dso__load_sym to put dso

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix dso__load_sym to put dso because dsos__add already got it.

Refcnt debugger explain the problem:

  ----
So, in the dso__load_sym, dso is gotten 3 times, by dso__new,
map__new2, and dsos__add. The last 2 is actually released by
map_groups and machine__delete correspondingly. However, the
first reference by dso__new, is never released.

Committer note:

Changed the place where the reference count is dropped to:

Fix it by dropping it right after creating curr_map, since we know that
either that operation failed and we need to drop the dso refcount or
that it succeed and we have it referenced via curr_map->dso.

Then only drop the curr_map refcount after we call dsos__add() to make
sure we hold a reference to it via curr_map->dso.
