[PATCH 17/20] perf trace: free syscall tp fields in evsel->priv

From: Riccardo Mancini
Date: Thu Jul 15 2021 - 12:08:12 EST


ASan reports several memory leaks running the perf test
"88: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname".
The third of these leaks is related to evsel->priv fields of sycalls never
being deallocated.

This patch adds the function evlist__free_syscall_tp_fields which
iterates over all evsels in evlist, matching syscalls, and calling the
missing frees.
This new function is called at the end of trace__run, right before
calling evlist__delete.
