Description
Found a possible issue in [litmuschaos/litmus-go](https://www.github.com/litmuschaos/litmus-go) at [pkg/result/chaosresult.go](https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus-go/blob/bcdcf88315cd76c0b366fd4dc902db36f1ac7a91/pkg/result/chaosresult.go#L59-L70)
Below is the message reported by the analyzer for this snippet of code. Beware that the analyzer only reports the first issue it finds, so please do not limit your consideration to the contents of the below message.
> function call at line 64 passes reference to result to third-party code

Click here to show the 12 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, result := range resultList.Items {
// the chaos-result is already present with matching labels
// it will patch the new parameters in the same chaos-result
if state == "SOT" {
return PatchChaosResult(&result, clients, chaosDetails, resultDetails, experimentLabel)
}
// it will patch the chaos-result in the end of experiment
resultDetails.Phase = "Completed"
return PatchChaosResult(&result, clients, chaosDetails, resultDetails, experimentLabel)
}
```

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument.
The following graphviz dot graph describes paths through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code:
digraph G {
"(PatchChaosResult, 5)" -> {"(Update, 1)";}
"(Update, 1)" -> {"(UpdateWithEventNamespace, 1)";}
"(UpdateWithEventNamespace, 1)" -> {}
}
```
