[PATCH v3] tracing/histogram: Fix UAF in destroy_hist_field()

[Kalesh Singh]

Calling destroy_hist_field() on an expression will recursively free
any operands associated with the expression. If during expression
parsing the operands of the expression are already set when an error
is encountered, there is no need to explicity free the operands. Doing
so will result in destroy_hist_field() being called twice for the
operands and lead to a use-after-free (UAF) error.

If the operands are associated with the expression, only call
destroy_hist_field() on the expression since the operands will be
recursively freed.
