Subject: [PATCH 06/20] perf dso: fix memory leak in dso__new_map
Date:   Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:07:11 +0200

ASan reports a memory leak when running the perf test
"65: maps__merge_in". The causes of the leaks are two, this patch
addresses only the first one, which is related to dso__new_map.
The bug is that dso__new_map creates a new dso but never decreases
the refcount it gets from creating it.

This patch adds the missing dso__put.
