Ian Rogers b2f70c99ed perf hist: Fix reference counting of branch_info
iter_finish_branch_entry() doesn't put the branch_info from/to map
elements creating memory leaks. This can be seen with:

```
$ perf record -e cycles -b perf test -w noploop
$ perf report -D
...
Direct leak of 984344 byte(s) in 123043 object(s) allocated from:

```

Clearing up the map_symbols properly creates maps reference count
issues so resolve those. Resolving this issue doesn't improve peak
heap consumption for the test above.

Committer testing:

  $ sudo dnf install libasan
  $ make -k CORESIGHT=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" CC=clang O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ -C tools/perf install-bin

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.
