perf symbols: Fix ownership of string in dso__load_vmlinux()
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.
