Currently, sym_validate_range() duplicates the range string using
xstrdup(), which is overwritten by a subsequent sym_calc_value() call.
It results in a memory leak.
Instead, only the pointer should be copied.
Below is a test case, with a summary from Valgrind.
[Test Kconfig]
config FOO
int "foo"
range 10 20
[Test .config]
CONFIG_FOO=0
[Before]
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 3 bytes in 1 blocks
indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
still reachable: 17,465 bytes in 21 blocks
suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
[After]
LEAK SUMMARY:

indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
still reachable: 17,462 bytes in 20 blocks
suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
