[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Add free_trace_iter_content() helper function

[Steven Rostedt]

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

As the trace iterator is created and used by various interfaces, the clean
up of it needs to be consistent. Create a free_trace_iter_content() helper
function that frees the content of the iterator and use that to clean it
up in all places that it is used.
