perf dlfilter: Avoid leak in v0 API test use of resolve_address()
The introduction of reference counting causes the v0 API perf_dlfilter_fns.resolve_address() to leak. v2 API introduced perf_dlfilter_fns.al_cleanup() to prevent that. For the v0 API, avoid the leak by exiting the addr_location immediately, since the documentation makes it clear that pointers obtained via perf_dlfilter_fns are not necessarily valid (dereferenceable) after 'filter_event' and 'filter_event_early' return.
