Asan reported leak of cpu and thread maps as they have one more refcount than released. I found that after setting evlist maps it should release it's refcount.
It seems to be broken from the beginning so I chose the original commit as the culprit. But not sure how it's applied to stable trees since there are many changes in the code after that.
