Subject: [PATCH 4.19 071/113] perf annotate: Fix dereferencing freed memory found by the smatch tool

[ Upstream commit 600c787dbf6521d8d07ee717ab7606d5070103ea ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
dereferencing freed memory check.

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c:1125
  disasm_line__parse() error: dereferencing freed memory 'namep'

  tools/perf/util/annotate.c
  1100 static int disasm_line__parse(char *line, const char **namep, char **rawp)
  1101 {
  1102         char tmp, *name = ltrim(line);

  [...]

  1114         *namep = strdup(name);
  1115
  1116         if (*namep == NULL)
  1117                 goto out_free_name;

  [...]

  1124 out_free_name:
  1125         free((void *)namep);
                            ^^^^^
  1126         *namep = NULL;
               ^^^^^^
  1127         return -1;
  1128 }

If strdup() fails to allocate memory space for *namep, we don't need to
free memory with pointer 'namep', which is resident in data structure
disasm_line::ins::name; and *namep is NULL pointer for this failure, so
it's pointless to assign NULL to *namep again.

Committer note:

Freeing namep, which is the address of the first entry of the 'struct
ins' that is the first member of struct disasm_line would in fact free
that disasm_line instance, if it was allocated via malloc/calloc, which,
later, would a dereference of freed memory.
