perf/core: Fix memory leak triggered by perf --namespace
[ Upstream commit
0e18dd12064e07519f7cbff4149ca7fff620cbed ]
perf with --namespace key leaks various memory objects including namespaces
4.14.0+
pid_namespace 1 12 2568 12 8
user_namespace 1 39 824 39 8
net_namespace 1 5 6272 5 8
This happen because perf_fill_ns_link_info() struct patch ns_path:
during initialization ns_path incremented counters on related mnt and dentry,
but without lost path_put nobody decremented them back.
Leaked dentry is name of related namespace,
and its leak does not allow to free unused namespace.
