[for-next][PATCH 3/4] tracing: Fix leak of per cpu max data in instances

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The freeing of an instance, if max data is configured, there will be
per cpu data structures created. But these are not freed when the instance
is deleted, which causes a memory leak.

A new helper function is added that frees the individual buffers within a
trace array, instead of duplicating the code. This way changes made for one
are applied to the other (normal buffer vs max buffer).
