perf report: Fix memory leaks around perf_tip()

[ Upstream commit d9fc706108c15f8bc2d4ccccf8e50f74830fabd9 ]

perf_tip() may allocate memory or use a literal, this means memory
wasn't freed if allocated. Change the API so that literals aren't used.

At the same time add missing frees for system_path. These issues were
spotted using leak sanitizer.
