[for-linus][PATCH 6/7] tracing/eprobe: Fix warning in filter creation

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Rafael Mendonca <rafaelmendsr@gmail.com>

The filter pointer (filterp) passed to create_filter() function must be a
pointer that references a NULL pointer, otherwise, we get a warning when
adding a filter option to the event probe:

root@localhost:/sys/kernel/tracing# echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core sched/sched_stat_runtime \
        runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> dynamic_events
