From: Cengiz Can <cengiz@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 85fc95d75970ee7dd8e01904e7fb1197c275ba6b upstream. `tools/perf/util/map.c` has a function named `maps__insert` that acquires a write lock if its in multithread context. Even though this lock is released when function successfully completes, there's a branch that is executed when `maps_by_name == NULL` that returns from this function without releasing the write lock. Added an `up_write` to release the lock when this happens.
