btrace, linux: fix memory leak when reading branch trace
When it takes more than one iteration to read the BTS trace, the trace from the previous iteration is leaked. Fix it. 2014-01-16 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> * common/linux-btrace.c (linux_read_btrace): Free trace from previous iteration.
