mainlining shenanigans
c087e9480c
ASan reported a memory leak of BPF-related ksymbols map and dso. The
leak is caused by refount never reaching 0, due to missing __put calls
in the function machine__process_ksymbol_register.
Once the dso is inserted in the map, dso__put() should be called
(map__new2() increases the refcount to 2).
The same thing applies for the map when it's inserted into maps
(maps__insert() increases the refcount to 2).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
