PATCH 1/1 perf env: fix memory leak: free bpf_prog_info_linear

ASan reported a memory leak caused by info_linear not being deallocated. The info_linear was allocated during perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog.
This patch adds the corresponding free() when bpf_prog_info_node is freed in perf_env__purge_bpf.
