Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix filter logic error

If the processing of the tr->events loop fails, the filter that has been
added to filter_head will be released twice in free_filter_list(&head->rcu)
and __free_filter(filter).

After adding the filter of tr->events, add the filter to the filter_head
process to avoid triggering uaf.

Fixes: a9d0aab5eb33 ("tracing: Fix regression of filter waiting a long time on RCU synchronization")
