[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/6] libbpf: Fix memory leak in parse_usdt_arg()

In the arm64 version of parse_usdt_arg(), when sscanf returns 2, reg_name
is allocated but not freed. Fix it.

Fixes: 0f8619929c57 ("libbpf: Usdt aarch64 arg parsing support")

It would be nice to do the same change for other architectures where
it makes sense and avoid having to deal with unnecessary memory
allocations. Please send follow up patches with similar changes for
other implementations of parse_usdt_arg. Thanks.
