Here's a patch.  Please review.

I'd like to check this and the other into the 7.12 branch as well.

    Avoid potential memory leak in find_frame_funname
    
    The PR 18565 thread pointed out that, if cp_remove_params can throw
    (we aren't quite sure), then find_frame_funname could leak some
    memory.  This patch avoids any potential issue by rearranging some
    code in find_frame_funname.
    
    Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 24.
