[PATCH] perf map: Fix namespace memory leak

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 14:37:21 EST


This leak was happening reliably with test "Lookup mmap thread" with
stack traces like:

Direct leak of 5504 byte(s) in 172 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7f4685e47987 in __interceptor_calloc

The dso->nsinfo is overwritten, but without a nsinfo__put this can leak
the overwritten nsinfo.
