[for-linus][PATCH 2/2] tracing/synthetic: Free type string on error path

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Yu Peng <pengyu@kylinos.cn>

parse_synth_field() builds a "__data_loc ..." type string before
assigning it to field->type. If the seq_buf check fails, the common
cleanup cannot free the temporary string. Free it before leaving.
