[PATCH 61/66] perf stat: Fix free memory access / memory leaks in metrics

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Make sure to not free the name passed in by the caller, but free all the
allocated ids when parsing expressions.

The loop at the end knows that the first entry shouldn't be freed, so
make sure the caller name is the first entry.

Fixes

% perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2

and also a leak report.

Committer testing:

Before:

# perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
# time CPU_Utilization
1.000470810 free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted (core dumped)
#

After:

# perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
# time CPU_Utilization
1.000494752 0.1
2.001105112 0.1
