[PATCH v2 2/3] perf disasm: Use disasm_line__free() to properly free disasm_line

[Li Huafei]

symbol__disassemble_capstone_powerpc() goto the 'err' label when it
failed in the loop that created disasm_line, and then used free()
directly to free disasm_line. Since the structure disasm_line contains
members that allocate memory dynamically, this can result in a memory
leak. In fact, we can simply break the loop when it fails in the middle
of the loop, and disasm_line__free() will then be called to properly
free the created line. Other error paths do not need to consider freeing
disasm_line.

Fixes: c5d60de1813a ("perf annotate: Add support to use libcapstone in powerpc")

Changes in v2:
 - Break directly in the loop when it fails, then free disasm_line.
 - Remove the free under the 'err' label.
