kconfig: Fix automatic menu creation mem leak
[ Upstream commit ae7440ef0c8013d68c00dad6900e7cce5311bb1c ] expr_trans_compare() always allocates and returns a new expression, giving the following leak outline: ... *Allocate* basedep = expr_trans_compare(basedep, E_UNEQUAL, &symbol_no); ... for (menu = parent->next; menu; menu = menu->next) { ... *Copy* dep2 = expr_copy(basedep); ... *Free copy* expr_free(dep2); } *basedep lost!* Fix by freeing 'basedep' after the loop. Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 344,376 bytes in 14,349 blocks ... Summary after the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks ...
