tracing: kernel/trace/trace.c: introduce missing kfree()
Impact: fix memory leak
Error handling code following a kzalloc should free the allocated data.
The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
expression E;
identifier f,l;
position p1,p2;
expression *ptr != NULL;

if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...)) == NULL) S

x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
)
<... when != x
when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
