Subject: [PATCH] perf kmem: Fix memory leak in __cmd_record()

There are memory leaks in __cmd_record() found by visual inspection.
calloc() and strdup() are used to allocate memory for rec_argv pointer
array and argv, which should be freed before the function returns.

In addition, checking whether strdup() is success or not, if failure,
then go to the failure path to free memory and return the function.

Fixes: ba77c9e11111 ("perf: Add 'perf kmem' tool")
