Subject: [PATCH 02/11] perf test: Fix a memory leak in attr test

The get_argv_exec_path() returns a dynamic memory so it should be
freed after use.

  $ perf test -v 17
  ...
  ==141682==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

  Direct leak of 33 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x7f09107d2e8f in __interceptor_malloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:145
    #1 0x7f091035f6a7 in __vasprintf_internal libio/vasprintf.c:71

  SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 33 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
