tracing: Fix freeing of filter in create_filter() when set_str is false
commit 8b0db1a5bdfcee0dbfa89607672598ae203c9045 upstream.

# echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:3 if irq > 31' > trigger

The function create_filter() is passed a 'filterp' pointer that gets
allocated, and if "set_str" is true, it is up to the caller to free it, even
on error. The problem is that the pointer is not freed by create_filter()
when set_str is false. This is a bug, and it is not up to the caller to free
the filter on error if it doesn't care about the string.
