[PATCH] perf test: add missing free for scandir-returned dirent entities

From: Riccardo Mancini
Date: Fri Jul 09 2021 - 12:35:15 EST


ASan reported a memory leak for items of the entlist returned from scandir.
In fact, scandir returns a malloc'd array of malloc'd dirents.
This patch adds the missing (z)frees.

Fixes: da963834fe6975a1 ("perf test: Iterate over shell tests in alphabetical order")
