Subject: [PATCH 06/12] perf tools: Free 'printk' string in parse_ftrace_printk()

From: Sanskriti Sharma <sansharm@...hat.com>

parse_ftrace_printk() tokenizes and parses a line, calling strdup() each
iteration.  Add code to free this temporary format string duplicate.

Fixes the following coverity complaints:

  Error: RESOURCE_LEAK (CWE-772):
  tools/perf/util/trace-event-parse.c:158: overwrite_var: Overwriting
  "printk" in "printk = strdup(fmt + 1)" leaks the storage that "printk"
  points to.

  tools/perf/util/trace-event-parse.c:162: leaked_storage: Variable
  "printk" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
