Subject: [PATCH] tracing: kprobe: Fix memory leak in test_gen_kprobe/kretprobe_cmd()

test_gen_kprobe_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak
when there is no failure. Move kfree(buf) from fail path to common path
to prevent the memleak. The same reason and solution in
test_gen_kretprobe_cmd().
