perf/core: Fix memory leak triggered by perf --namespace
perf with --namespace key leaks various memory objects including namespaces 4.14.0+ pid_namespace 1 12 2568 12 8 user_namespace 1 39 824 39 8 net_namespace 1 5 6272 5 8 This happen because perf_fill_ns_link_info() struct patch ns_path: during initialization ns_path incremented counters on related mnt and dentry, but without lost path_put nobody decremented them back. Leaked dentry is name of related namespace, and its leak does not allow to free unused namespace.
