[PATCH] perf hist: fix memory leak if histogram entry is reused

From: Jonas Rabenstein
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 07:23:15 EST


In __hists__add_entry the srcline of the addr_location is duplicated
for the hist_entry. If hists__findnew_entry returns an already existing
hist_entry the srcline has to be freed again as no further reference to
that duplicated srcline would exists anymore.
