[PATCH v2 0/4] perf tools: Fix memory issues

[Michalis Niarchos via B4 Relay <devnull+michael.niarchos.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

Running:
  $ perf kvm stat record -a sleep 10

gives this output:
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.361 MB perf.data.guest ]
  double free or corruption (!prev)

In the process of resolving this, I came across some memory leaks.

Changes in v2:
- Removed code block that was rendered dead by the
  get_filename_for_perf_kvm() change.
- Dropped invalid free() fix from kvm_events_report().
- Added double free fixes for: __cmd_record(), __cmd_report(),
  __cmd_buildid_list(), and __cmd_top(), which follow the same pattern
  as kvm_events_record().
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260803-perf-kvm-fixes-v1-0-a5db849ac973@gmail.com
