Subject: [PATCH 21/24] perf kmem: Fix segfault when invalid sort key is given

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

When it tries to free 'str', it was already updated by strsep() - so it
needs to save the original pointer.

  # perf kmem stat -s xxx,hit
    Error: Unknown --sort key: 'xxx'
  *** Error in `perf': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000e9e7b6 ***
  ======= Backtrace: =========
