James Clark 9ec45f857a perf symbols: Fix ownership of string in dso__load_vmlinux()

[ Upstream commit 25626e19ae6df34f336f235b6b3dbd1b566d2738 ]

The linked commit updated dso__load_vmlinux() to call
dso__set_long_name() before loading the symbols. Loading the symbols may
not succeed but dso__set_long_name() takes ownership of the string. The
two callers of this function free the string themselves on failure
cases, resulting in the following error:

  $ perf record -- ls
  $ perf report

  free(): double free detected in tcache 2

Fix it by always taking ownership of the string, even on failure. This
means the string is either freed at the very first early exit condition,
or later when the dso is deleted or the long name is replaced. Now no
special return value is needed to signify that the caller needs to
free the string.

Fixes: e59fea47f83e8a9a ("perf symbols: Fix DSO kernel load and symbol process to correctly map DSO to its long_name, type and adjust_symbols")
