when using perf record 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.

Fixes: bcc84ec65ad1 ("perf record: Add ability to name registers to record")
