Subject: perf tools: Fix leaking rec_argv in error cases

From: Martin Kepplinger <martink@posteo.de>


[ Upstream commit c896f85a7c15ab9d040ffac8b8003e47996602a2 ]

Let's free the allocated rec_argv in case we return early, in order to
avoid leaking memory.

This adds free() at a few very similar places across the tree where it
was missing.
