The introduction of reference counting causes the v0 API
perf_dlfilter_fns.resolve_address() to leak. v2 API introduced
perf_dlfilter_fns.al_cleanup() to prevent that. For the v0 API, avoid the
leak by exiting the addr_location immediately, since the documentation
makes it clear that pointers obtained via perf_dlfilter_fns are not
necessarily valid (dereferenceable) after 'filter_event' and
'filter_event_early' return.
