Masahiro Yamada b97debd07a kconfig: fix memory leak from range properties
[ Upstream commit ae1eff0349 ]

Currently, sym_validate_range() duplicates the range string using
xstrdup(), which is overwritten by a subsequent sym_calc_value() call.
It results in a memory leak.

Instead, only the pointer should be copied.

Below is a test case, with a summary from Valgrind.

[Test Kconfig]

  config FOO
          int "foo"
          range 10 20

[Test .config]

  CONFIG_FOO=0

[Before]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 3 bytes in 1 blocks
     indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     still reachable: 17,465 bytes in 21 blocks
          suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

[After]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     still reachable: 17,462 bytes in 20 blocks
          suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

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.
