Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Fix double free bug

Linus,

Fix double free bug in tracing histograms

On error, the operands and the histogram expression are destroyed,
but since the destruction is recursive, do not destroy the operands
if they already belong to the expression that is about to be destroyed.

    tracing/histogram: Fix UAF in destroy_hist_field()
    
    Calling destroy_hist_field() on an expression will recursively free
    any operands associated with the expression. If during expression
    parsing the operands of the expression are already set when an error
    is encountered, there is no need to explicity free the operands. Doing
    so will result in destroy_hist_field() being called twice for the
    operands and lead to a use-after-free (UAF) error.
    
    Fix this by only calling destroy_hist_field() for the operands if they
    are not associated with the expression hist_field.
