perf header: Fix one memory leakage in process_bpf_btf()
[ Upstream commit 875d22980a062521beed7b5df71fb13a1af15d83 ]
If __perf_env__insert_btf() returns false due to a duplicate btf node
insertion, the temporary node will leak. Add a check to ensure the memory
is freed if the function returns false.
