From: Zheng Zengkai <zhengzengkai@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2eb5dd418034ecea2f7031e3d33f2991a878b148 ] When using 'perf record's option '-I' or '--user-regs=' along with argument '?' to list available register names, memory of variable 'os' allocated by strdup() needs to be released before __parse_regs() returns, otherwise memory leak will occur.
