[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] aux/pipe_loader: Don't leak dlerror string on dlopen failure

[Aaron Watry]

dlopen allocates a string on dlopen failure which is retrieved via dlerror. In
order to free that string, you need to retrieve and then free it.

In order to keep things legit the windows/other util_dl_error paths allocate
and then copy their error message into a buffer as well.

v2: Use strdup instead of calloc/strcpy
