[for-next][PATCH 14/15] tracing/string: Create and use __free(argv_free) in trace_dynevent.c

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The function dyn_event_release() uses argv_split() which must be freed via
argv_free(). It contains several error paths that do a goto out to call
argv_free() for cleanup. This makes the code complex and error prone.

Create a new __free() directive __free(argv_free) that will call
argv_free() for data allocated with argv_split(), and use it in the
dyn_event_release() function.
