`tools/perf/util/map.c` has a function named `maps__insert` that
acquires a write lock if its in multithread context.

Even though this lock is released when function successfully completes,
there's a branch that is executed when `maps_by_name == NULL` that
returns from this function without releasing the write lock.

Added an `up_write` to release the lock when this happens.

Hello Arnaldo,

I'm not exactly sure about the order that we must call up_write here.

Please tell me if the `__maps__free_maps_by_name` frees the
`rw_semaphore`. If that's the case, should we change the order to unlock and free?

Thanks!
