6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

This reverts commit e5de9ea7796e79f3cd082624f788cc3442bff2a8.
The patch introduced `map__zput(new_node->map)` in the kcore load path, causing a segmentation fault when running `perf c2c report`.
The issue arises because `maps__merge_in` directly modifies and inserts the caller's `new_map`, causing it to be freed prematurely while still referenced by kmaps.
Later branchs (6.12, 6.15, 6.16) are not affected because they use a different merge approach with a lazily sorted array, which avoids modifying the original `new_map`.
Fixes: e5de9ea7796e ("perf dso: Add missed dso__put to dso__load_kcore")
