Andrii Nakryiko 5c3320d7fe libbpf: Fix memory leak and optimize BTF sanitization
Coverity's static analysis helpfully reported a memory leak introduced by
0f0e55d824 ("libbpf: Improve BTF sanitization handling"). While fixing it,
I realized that btf__new() already creates a memory copy, so there is no need
to do this. So this patch also fixes misleading btf__new() signature to make
data into a `const void *` input parameter. And it avoids unnecessary memory
allocation and copy in BTF sanitization code altogether.

Fixes: 0f0e55d824 ("libbpf: Improve BTF sanitization handling")

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
