Aditya Gupta ab656dd9fc libsubcmd: Don't free the usage string
[ Upstream commit 1a5efc9e13f357abc396dbf445b25d08914c8060 ]

Currently, commands which depend on 'parse_options_subcommand()' don't
show the usage string, and instead show '(null)'

    $ ./perf sched
	Usage: (null)

    -D, --dump-raw-trace  dump raw trace in ASCII
    -f, --force           don't complain, do it
    -i, --input <file>    input file name
    -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)

'parse_options_subcommand()' is generally expected to initialise the usage
string, with information in the passed 'subcommands[]' array

This behaviour was changed in:

  230a7a71f92212e7 ("libsubcmd: Fix parse-options memory leak")

Where the generated usage string is deallocated, and usage[0] string is
reassigned as NULL.

As discussed in [1], free the allocated usage string in the main
function itself, and don't reset usage string to NULL in
parse_options_subcommand

With this change, the behaviour is restored.

    $ ./perf sched
        Usage: perf sched [<options>] {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}

           -D, --dump-raw-trace  dump raw trace in ASCII
           -f, --force           don't complain, do it
           -i, --input <file>    input file name
           -v, --verbose         be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)
