Subject: [PATCH 09/20] perf report: free generated help strings for sort option
Date:   Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:07:14 +0200
Message-Id: <a38b13f02812a8a6759200b9063c6191337f44d4.1626343282.git.rickyman7@gmail.com>

ASan reports the memory leak of the strings allocated by sort_help when
running perf report.

This patch changes the returned pointer to char* (instead of const char*),
saves it in a temporary variable, and finally deallocates it at function
exit.
