[PATCH] tracing: Move destroy_actions() before destroy_hist_fields()

From: Steven Rostedt

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The destroy_actions() function will call track_data_destroy() which calls
destroy_hist_field() on the data->track_data.var_ref. This checks the
hist_field flags for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, and if it is set it will not
free the variable as it will be freed later.

destroy_hist_fields() frees the hist_fields that are marked with
HIST_FIELD_VAR_REF.

The issue is that destroy_hist_fields() is called before destroy_actions()
and frees the data->track_data.var_ref before destroy_actions() is called.
When the destroy_hist_field() checks the hist_field's flag for
HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, the hist_field has already been freed, and KASAN
reports a "used after free" warning:

By calling destroy_actions() before destroy_hist_fields() will move the
check before the free.
