perf session env: Rename exit method
The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release the memory for 'instance' itself. The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage. For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is: void foo__delete(foo) { if (foo) { foo__exit(foo); free(foo); } } But when we have something like: struct bar { struct foo foo; . . . } Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this instead: void bar__exit(bar) { foo__exit(&bar.foo); /* free other bar-> resources */ } void bar__delete(bar) { if (bar) { bar__exit(bar); free(bar); } } So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().
