[PATCH] findtextrel: Don't leak memory in process_file.

When a files do contain textrels we fail to release the segments searched
and valgrind will show:

 2,560 bytes in 16 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 1
    at 0x40281B5: malloc (in vgpreload_memcheck-x86-linux.so)
    by 0x804AE63: process_file (findtextrel.c:322)
    by 0x804909B: main (findtextrel.c:149)
