[PATCH 160/161] perf symbols: Fix a memory leak due to symbol__delete not being used

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Oct 14 2013 - 16:06:32 EST


From: Chenggang Qin <chenggang.qcg@xxxxxxxxxx>

In function symbols__fixup_duplicate(), while duplicated symbols are
found, only the rb_node is removed from the tree. The symbol structures
themself are ignored. Then, these memory areas are lost.
