[PATCH 5.10 505/717] perf probe: Fix memory leak when synthesizing SDT probes

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 5149303fdfe5c67ddb51c911e23262f781cd75eb ]

The argv_split() function must be paired with argv_free(), else we must
keep a reference to the argv array received or do the freeing ourselves,
in synthesize_sdt_probe_command() we were simply leaking that argv[]
array.

Fixes: 3b1f8311f6963cd1 ("perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string")
