[ Upstream commit b12eea5ad8e77f8a380a141e3db67c07432dde16 ]
The evsel->unit borrows a pointer of pmu event or alias instead of
owns a string. But tool event (duration_time) passes a result of
strdup() caused a leak.
It was found by ASAN during metric test:
Direct leak of 210 byte(s) in 70 object(s) allocated from:
