Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fix memory leaks in trace_events_hist.c

kmemleak report 1:

    [<05a2c9ed>] create_field_var+0xcf/0x180

    [<ffd66c19>] __vfs_write+0x30/0x200
    [<4f424a0d>] vfs_write+0x96/0x1b0
    [<da59a290>] ksys_write+0x53/0xc0

    [<46e2629c>] entry_SYSENTER_32+0xaf/0x102

This is because save_vars[] of struct hist_trigger_data are
not destroyed

kmemleak report 2:
    [<9092c50b>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x138/0x270
    [<6e5e97c5>] create_var+0x3c/0x110

    [<528a2d68>] action_create+0xe2/0xc80
    [<63f50b61>] event_hist_trigger_func+0x15b5/0x1920
    [<28ea5d3d>] trigger_process_regex+0x7b/0xc0
    [<3138e86f>] event_trigger_write+0x4d/0xb0
    [<ffd66c19>] __vfs_write+0x30/0x200
    [<4f424a0d>] vfs_write+0x96/0x1b0

    [<46e2629c>] entry_SYSENTER_32+0xaf/0x102

struct hist_field allocated through create_var() do not initialize
"ref" field to 1. The code in __destroy_hist_field() does not destroy
object if "ref" is initialized to zero, the condition
if (--hist_field->ref > 1) always passes since unsigned int wraps.

kmemleak report 3:
    [<f8666fcc>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x139/0x2b0
    [<bb7f80a5>] kstrdup+0x27/0x50
    [<39d70006>] init_var_ref+0x58/0xd0
    [<8ca76370>] create_var_ref+0x89/0xe0
    [<f045fc39>] action_create+0x38f/0xc80
    [<7c146821>] event_hist_trigger_func+0x15b5/0x1920
    [<07de3f61>] trigger_process_regex+0x7b/0xc0
    [<e87daf8f>] event_trigger_write+0x4d/0xb0
    [<19bf1512>] __vfs_write+0x30/0x200
    [<64ce4d27>] vfs_write+0x96/0x1b0
    [<a6f34170>] ksys_write+0x53/0xc0
    [<7d4230cd>] __ia32_sys_write+0x15/0x20
    [<8eadca00>] do_fast_syscall_32+0x70/0x250
    [<235cf985>] entry_SYSENTER_32+0xaf/0x102

hist_fields (system & event_name) are not freed
