Subject: [PATCH perf/core 02/13] perf: Make perf_exec_path always returns
malloc'd string
Since system_path() returns malloc'd string if given path is
not an absolute path, perf_exec_path sometimes returns static
string and sometimes returns malloc'd string depends on the
environment variables or command options.
This causes a memory leak because caller can not free the
returned string.
This fixes perf_exec_path and system_path to always return
malloc'd string, so caller can always free it.
