tracing: Fix a memory leak by early error exit in trace_pid_write()

Browse Source 
commit 91862cc786 upstream.

In trace_pid_write(), the buffer for trace parser is allocated through
kmalloc() in trace_parser_get_init(). Later on, after the buffer is used,
it is then freed through kfree() in trace_parser_put(). However, it is
possible that trace_pid_write() is terminated due to unexpected errors,
e.g., ENOMEM. In that case, the allocated buffer will not be freed, which
is a memory leak bug.

To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer when an error is encountered.
