[PATCH] perf script: fix double free on command_line

[PATCH] perf script: fix double free on command_line

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

command_line is free'd twice if db_export__branch_types fails. To
avoid this, defer the free'ing of command_line to after this call
so that the error return path will just free command_line once.

perf script: Fix double free on command_line

The 'command_line' variable is free'd twice if db_export__branch_types()
fails. To avoid this, defer the free'ing of 'command_line' to after this
call so that the error return path will just free 'command_line' once.
