Building perf with EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" a leak is detect when trying to add a probe to a non-existent function:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf dso__neW Probe point 'dso__neW' not found. Error: Failed to add events.

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 193 byte(s) leaked in 2 allocation(s). #
synthesize_perf_probe_point() returns a "detached" strbuf, i.e. a malloc'ed string that needs to be free'd.
An audit will be performed to find other such cases.
