Subject: [PATCH 4.19 27/44] tracing: Fix memory leak in create_filter()

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit b61c19209c2c35ea2a2fe502d484703686eba98c upstream.

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.
