perf pmus: Fixes always false when compare duplicates aliases
In the previous loop, all the members in the aliases[j-1] have been freed and set to NULL. But in this loop, the function pmu_alias_is_duplicate() compares the aliases[j] with the aliases[j-1] that has already been disposed, so the function will always return false and duplicate aliases will never be discarded. If we find duplicate aliases, it skips the zfree aliases[j], which is accompanied by a memory leak. We can use the next aliases[j+1] to theck for duplicate aliases to fixes the aliases NULL pointer dereference, then goto zfree code snippet to release it. After patch testing: $ perf list --unit=hisi_sicl,cpa pmu uncore cpa: cpa_p0_rd_dat_32b [Number of read ops transmitted by the P0 port which size is 32 bytes.
