Leo Yan f1e8f25980 perf kvm: Reference count 'struct kvm_info'
hists__add_entry_ops() doesn't allocate a new histogram entry if it has
an existing entry for a KVM event, in this case, find_create_kvm_event()
allocates a 'struct kvm_info' but it's not used by any histograms and
never freed.

To fix the memory leak, this patch first introduces a refcnt and a set
of functions for refcnt operations on 'struct kvm_info'.  When the data
structure is not anymore used (the refcnt hits zero) kvm_info__zput()
will free the memory used.

Committer:

Provide a nop version of kvm_info__zput() to be used when
HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT isn't defined as it is used unconditionally in
hists__findnew_entry() and hist_entry__delete().

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.
