[PATCH v1] perf trace: Fix some more memory leaks

[PATCH v1] perf trace: Fix some more memory leaks

[Ian Rogers]

The files.max is the maximum valid fd in the files array and so
freeing the values needs to be inclusive of the max value.

Add missing thread__put of the found parent thread in
thread__e_machine.

Split it into:

⬢ [acme@toolbx perf-tools-next]$ git log --oneline -2
7900938850645ed4 (HEAD -> perf-tools-next) perf trace: Add missing thread__put() in thread__e_machine()
8830091383b03498 perf trace: Free the files.max entry in files->table
⬢ [acme@toolbx perf-tools-next]$ 

So that git --oneline is more descriptive, etc.

Thanks, applied to perf-tools-next,

- Arnaldo

Split into two patches, as one fixes one long standing problem (from
2017:

    perf trace: Fix leaks of 'struct thread' in set_filter_loop_pids()
    
    I've found some leaks from 'perf trace -a'.
    
    It seems there are more leaks but this is what I can find for now.
    
    Fixes: 082ab9a18e532864 ("perf trace: Filter out 'sshd' in the tracer ancestry in syswide tracing")

But the other fixes a more recent bug:

    perf trace: Fix leaks of 'struct thread' in fprintf_sys_enter()
    
    I've found some leaks from 'perf trace -a'.
    
    It seems there are more leaks but this is what I can find for now.
    
    Fixes: 70351029b55677eb ("perf thread: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a thread")
