I don't think this patch does the right thing.  You could see that the
memory is allocated in arch specific function sample_ustack(), and the
"buf" pointer is assigned to sample->user_stack.data; and the memory
actually is released in the caller function test_dwarf_unwind__thread:

noinline int test_dwarf_unwind__thread(struct thread *thread)
{
        struct perf_sample sample;
        unsigned long cnt = 0;
        int err = -1;

        memset(&sample, 0, sizeof(sample));

        if (test__arch_unwind_sample(&sample, thread)) {
                pr_debug("failed to get unwind sample\n");
                goto out;
        } 

        [...]

 out:
        zfree(&sample.user_stack.data);
        zfree(&sample.user_regs.regs);
        return err;
}

So this patch will break the testing and doesn't fix any memory leak
issue.

Thanks,
Leo
