The 'struct callchain_cursor_node' has a 'struct map_symbol' whose maps
and map members are reference counted. Ensure these values use a _get
routine to increment the reference counts and use map_symbol__exit() to
release the reference counts.
Do similar for 'struct thread's prev_lbr_cursor, but save the size of
the prev_lbr_cursor array so that it may be iterated.
Ensure that when stitch_nodes are placed on the free list the
map_symbols are exited.
Fix resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() by replacing list_replace_init() to
list_splice_init(), so the whole list is moved and nodes aren't leaked.
A reproduction of the memory leaks is possible with a leak sanitizer
build in the perf report command of:
```
$ perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr perf test -w thloop
$ perf report --stitch-lbr
```

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
