perf tests bp_account: Fix leaked file descriptor

Since the commit e9846f5ead26 ("perf test: In forked mode add check that
fds aren't leaked"), the test "Breakpoint accounting" reports the error:

# perf test -vvv "Breakpoint accounting"
20: Breakpoint accounting:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 373
failed opening event 0
failed opening event 0
watchpoints count 4, breakpoints count 6, has_ioctl 1, share 0
wp 0 created
wp 1 created
wp 2 created
wp 3 created
wp 0 modified to bp
wp max created
---- end(0) ----
Leak of file descriptor 7 that opened: 'anon_inode:[perf_event]'

A watchpoint's file descriptor was not properly released. This patch
fixes the leak.
