Acaict, perf_home_perfconfig() is supposed to cache the result of
home_perfconfig, which returns the default location of perfconfig for
the user, given the HOME environment variable.
However, the current implementation calls home_perfconfig every time
perf_home_perfconfig() is called (so no caching is actually performed),
replacing the previous pointer, thus also causing a memory leak.
This patch adds a check of whether either config or failed is set and,
in that case, directly returns config without calling home_perfconfig at
each invocation.

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.
