[PATCH 05/20] perf test: event_update: fix memory leak of unit

From: Riccardo Mancini
Date: Thu Jul 15 2021 - 12:07:42 EST


ASan reports a memory leak while running the 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.
