Subject: [PATCH v3] tracing/probes: Fix memory leak in traceprobe_parse_probe_arg_body()

From: LuMingYin <lumingyindetect@....com>

If traceprobe_parse_probe_arg_body() failed to allocate 'parg->fmt',
it jumps to the label 'out' instead of 'fail' by mistake.In the result,
the buffer 'tmp' is not freed in this case and leaks its memory.

Thus jump to the label 'fail' in that error case.

Fixes: 032330abd08b ("tracing/probes: Cleanup probe argument parser")
