Subject: [PATCH 4/6] tools lib traceevent: Fix freeing arg on process_dynamic_array()

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>

The @arg paremeter should not be freed inside of process_XXX(),
because it'd be freed from the caller of process_arg(). We can
free it only after it was reused for local usage.
