[PATCH v9 02/29] btrace, linux: fix memory leak when reading branch trace


When it takes more than one iteration to read the BTS trace, the trace from the
previous iteration is leaked.  Fix it.

2013-12-19  Markus Metzger  <markus.t.metzger@intel.com>

	* common/linux-btrace.c (linux_read_btrace): Free trace from
	previous iteration.
