[PATCH 01/12] profile_create_node: set magic before strdup(name) to avoid memory leak

From: Wu Guanghao <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-24 11:19:51
Subsystem: library code, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

If new->magic != PROF_MAGIC_NODE, profile_free_node() don't free node.
This will cause the node to be unable to be released correctly and
a memory leak will occur.
