scripts/kallsyms: fix definitely-lost memory leak
[ Upstream commit 21915eca088dc271c970e8351290e83d938114ac ]
build_initial_tok_table() overwrites unused sym_entry to shrink the
table size. Before the entry is overwritten, table[i].sym must be freed
since it is malloc'ed data.
This fixes the 'definitely lost' report from valgrind. I ran valgrind
against x86_64_defconfig of v5.4-rc8 kernel, and here is the summary:
[Before the fix]
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 53,184 bytes in 2,874 blocks
[After the fix]
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
