[GIT PULL] tracing: Fixes for v6.16

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

Linus,

tracing fix for 6.16:

- Do not free "head" variable in filter_free_subsystem_filters()

  The first error path jumps to "free_now" label but first frees the newly
  allocated "head" variable. But the "free_now" code checks this variable,
  and if it is not NULL, it will iterate the list. As this list variable
  was already initialized, the "free_now" code will not do anything as it
  is empty. But freeing it will cause a UAF bug. The error path should
  simply jump to the "free_now" label and leave the "head" variable alone.
