  We get batch from pcp and just pass it to nr_pcp_free immediately. Get
batch from pcp inside nr_pcp_free to remove unnecessary parameter batch.

Hi Kemeng,

Since I am discussing the other patch in this series, I might just commend on this one
as well.

Because nr_pcp_free is static and has only one caller. This function gets inlined
at the caller's side. I verified that on X86_64 compiled code.

So this fix in my opinion is not worthwhile to fix. It will produce the same
machine code. One minor side effect is that it will hide the commit under it
in "git blame".
