perf probe: Fix memory leak when synthesizing SDT probes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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: 3b1f831 ("perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string")
