perf tools: Make perf_exec_path() always return malloc'd string

Since system_path() returns malloc'd string if given path is not an
absolute path, perf_exec_path() sometimes returns a static string and
sometimes returns a malloc'd string depending on the environment
variables or command options.

This may cause a memory leak because the caller can not unconditionally
free the returned string.

This fixes perf_exec_path() and system_path() to always return a
malloc'd string, so the caller can always free it.
