Subject: [PATCH v2] bpftool: Fix memory leak in do_build_table_cb

strdup() allocates memory for path. We need to release the memory in
the following error path. Add free() to avoid memory leak.

Fixes: 8f184732b60b ("bpftool: Switch to libbpf's hashmap for pinned paths of BPF objects")
Signed-off-by: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@...il.com>

changes in v2:
- move free(path); into error branch.
