Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Fix memory leak in create_filter()

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The create_filter() calls create_filter_start() which allocates a
"parse_error" descriptor, but fails to call create_filter_finish() that
frees it.

The op_stack and inverts in predicate_parse() were also not freed.

Found by kmemleak detector.
