A double free occurred when get source file path failed. If lr->path
failed to assign a new value, it will be freed as the old path and then
be freed again during line_range__clear(), and causes this:

  $ perf probe -L do_execve -k vmlinux
  *** Error in `/usr/bin/perf': double free or corruption (fasttop):
      0x0000000000a9ac50 ***
  ======= Backtrace: =========
  ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x6eeef)[0x7ffff5e44eef]
  ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x78cae)[0x7ffff5e4ecae]
  ../lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79987)[0x7ffff5e4f987]
  ../bin/perf[0x4ab41f]
  ...

This patch fix this problem.
