[v4,3/3] libbpf: cleanup the legacy uprobe_event on failed add/attach_event()

Commit Message

Chuang Wang June 29, 2022, 3:18 p.m. UTC

A potential scenario, when an error is returned after
add_uprobe_event_legacy() in perf_event_uprobe_open_legacy(), or
bpf_program__attach_perf_event_opts() in
bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts() returns an error, the uprobe_event
that was previously created is not cleaned.

So, with this patch, when an error is returned, fix this by adding
remove_uprobe_event_legacy()
