    recordmcount: Remove redundant cleanup() calls · c97fea26
    Matt Helsley authored
    Redundant cleanup calls were introduced when transitioning from
    the old error/success handling via setjmp/longjmp -- the longjmp
    ensured the cleanup() call only happened once but replacing
    the success_file()/fail_file() calls with cleanup() meant that
    multiple cleanup() calls can happen as we return from function
    calls.
    
    In do_file(), looking just before and after the "goto out" jumps we
    can see that multiple cleanups() are being performed. We remove
    cleanup() calls from the nested functions because it makes the code
    easier to review -- the resources being cleaned up are generally
    allocated and initialized in the callers so freeing them there
    makes more sense.
    
    Other redundant cleanup() calls:
    
    mmap_file() is only called from do_file() and, if mmap_file() fails,
    then we goto out and do cleanup() there too.
    
    write_file() is only called from do_file() and do_file()
    calls cleanup() unconditionally after returning from write_file()
    therefore the cleanup() calls in write_file() are not necessary.
    
    find_secsym_ndx(), called from do_func()'s for-loop, when we are
    cleaning up here it's obvious that we break out of the loop and
    do another cleanup().
    
    __has_rel_mcount() is called from two parts of do_func()
    and calls cleanup(). In theory we move them into do_func(), however
    these in turn prove redundant so another simplification step
    removes them as well.
