Subject: [PATCH 28/37] perf machine: Fix machine__findnew_module_map to put dso

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@...achi.com>

Fix machine__findnew_module_map to drop the reference to the dso because
it is already referenced by both machine__findnew_module_dso() and
map__new2().

Refcnt debugger shows:

  ==== [1] ====
  Unreclaimed dso: 0x1ffd980
  Refcount +1 => 1 at
    ./perf(dso__new+0x1ff) [0x4a62df]
    ./perf(__dsos__addnew+0x29) [0x4a6e19]
    ./perf() [0x4b8b91]
    ./perf(modules__parse+0xfc) [0x4a9d5c]
    ./perf() [0x4b8460]
    ./perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x150) [0x4bb550]
    ./perf(machine__new_host+0xfa) [0x4bb75a]
    ./perf(init_probe_symbol_maps+0x93) [0x506623]
    ./perf() [0x455ffa]
    ./perf(cmd_probe+0x6c) [0x4566bc]
    ./perf() [0x47abc5]
    ./perf(main+0x610) [0x421f90]
    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

This map_groups__insert(0x4b8b91) already gets a reference to the new
dso:

  ----
  eu-addr2line -e ./perf -f 0x4b8b91
  map_groups__insert inlined at util/machine.c:586 in
  machine__create_module
  util/map.h:207
  ----

So this dso refcnt will be released when map_groups gets released.

  [snip]
  Refcount +1 => 2 at
    ./perf(dso__get+0x34) [0x4a65f4]
    ./perf() [0x4b8b35]
    ./perf(modules__parse+0xfc) [0x4a9d5c]
    ./perf() [0x4b8460]
    ./perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x150) [0x4bb550]
    ./perf(machine__new_host+0xfa) [0x4bb75a]
    ./perf(init_probe_symbol_maps+0x93) [0x506623]
    ./perf() [0x455ffa]
    ./perf(cmd_probe+0x6c) [0x4566bc]
    ./perf() [0x47abc5]
    ./perf(main+0x610) [0x421f90]
    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

Here, machine__findnew_module_dso(0x4b8b35) gets the dso (and stores it
in a local variable):

  ----
  # eu-addr2line -e ./perf -f 0x4b8b35
  machine__findnew_module_dso inlined at util/machine.c:578 in
  machine__create_module
  util/machine.c:514
  ----

  Refcount +1 => 3 at
    ./perf(dso__get+0x34) [0x4a65f4]
    ./perf(map__new2+0x76) [0x4be1c6]
    ./perf() [0x4b8b4f]
    ./perf(modules__parse+0xfc) [0x4a9d5c]
    ./perf() [0x4b8460]
    ./perf(machine__create_kernel_maps+0x150) [0x4bb550]
    ./perf(machine__new_host+0xfa) [0x4bb75a]
    ./perf(init_probe_symbol_maps+0x93) [0x506623]
    ./perf() [0x455ffa]
    ./perf(cmd_probe+0x6c) [0x4566bc]
    ./perf() [0x47abc5]
    ./perf(main+0x610) [0x421f90]
    /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f1345a8eaf5]
    ./perf() [0x4220a9]

But also map__new2() gets the dso which will be put when the map is
released.

So, we have to drop the constructor reference obtained in
machine__findnew_module_dso().
