Subject: [PATCH 1/5] tracing/kprobe: Fix a memory leak in error case
From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@...achi.com>
Fix a memory leak which happens when a field name conflicts with others. In
error case, free_trace_probe() will free all arguments until nr_args, so this
increments nr_args the begining of the loop instead of the end.
