[PATCH 4.19 02/11] tracing: Reject string operand in the histogram expression

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a9d10ca4986571bffc19778742d508cc8dd13e02 upstream.

Since the string type can not be the target of the addition / subtraction
operation, it must be rejected. Without this fix, the string type silently
converted to digits.
