[PATCH 3/3] perf core: Fix a memory leak bug because symbol__delete is ignored

[Chenggang Qin]

From: Chenggang Qin <chenggang.qcg@xxxxxxxxxx>

In function symbols__fixup_duplicate(), while the duplicated symbols are found,
only the rb_node are deleted. The symbol structures themself are ignored.
Then, these memory areas are lost.
This patch fixed the bug. 
Thanks.
