[PATCH 17/27] perf probe: Reset args and nargs for probe_trace_event when failure

[Wang Nan]

When failure occures in add_probe_trace_event(), args in
probe_trace_event is incomplete. Since information in it may be used
in further, this patch frees the allocated memory and set it to NULL
to avoid dangling pointer.
