[for-linus][PATCH 01/13] tracing/synthetic: Free pending field on error path

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Yu Peng <pengyu@kylinos.cn>

Some __create_synth_event() error paths run after parse_synth_field()
succeeds but before the field is stored in fields[]. The common cleanup
then misses the field. Free it before freeing argv.
