Riccardo Mancini 67069a1f0f perf env: Fix memory leak of bpf_prog_info_linear member
ASan reported a memory leak caused by info_linear not being deallocated.

The info_linear was allocated during in perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog().

This patch adds the corresponding free() when bpf_prog_info_node
is freed in perf_env__purge_bpf().

  $ sudo ./perf record -- sleep 5
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.025 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
