Subject: [PATCH 4.4 67/79] perf llvm: Dont access out-of-scope array

From: Ian Rogers <irogers@...gle.com>

commit 7d4c85b7035eb2f9ab217ce649dcd1bfaf0cacd3 upstream.

The 'test_dir' variable is assigned to the 'release' array which is
out-of-scope 3 lines later.

Extend the scope of the 'release' array so that an out-of-scope array
isn't accessed.

Bug detected by clang's address sanitizer.

Fixes: 07bc5c699a3d ("perf tools: Make fetch_kernel_version() publicly available")
