Subject: [PATCH 5.13 056/223] perf dso: Fix memory leak in dso__new_map()

From: Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 581e295a0f6b5c2931d280259fbbfff56959faa9 ]

ASan reports a memory leak when running:

  # perf test "65: maps__merge_in".

The causes of the leaks are two, this patch addresses only the first
one, which is related to dso__new_map().

The bug is that dso__new_map() creates a new dso but never decreases the
refcount it gets from creating it.

This patch adds the missing dso__put().
