tracing/eprobe: Fix memory leak of filter string
The filter string doesn't get freed when a dynamic event is deleted. If a
filter is set, then memory is leaked:
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \
sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo "-:egroup/stat_runtime_4core" >> dynamic_events
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
[ 224.416373] kmemleak: 1 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff88810156f1b8 (size 8):

Additionally, in __trace_eprobe_create() function, if an error occurs after
the call to trace_eprobe_parse_filter(), which allocates the filter string,
then memory is also leaked. That can be reproduced by creating the same
event probe twice:
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \
sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events
root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core \
sched/sched_stat_runtime runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events
-bash: echo: write error: File exists

Fix both issues by releasing the filter string in
trace_event_probe_cleanup().
