[PATCH 1/4] tracing/filters: Fix error-handling of cpulist parsing buffer

From: Valentin Schneider
Date: Fri Sep 01 2023 - 11:11:59 EST


parse_pred() allocates a string buffer to parse the user-provided cpulist,
but doesn't check the allocation result nor does it free the buffer once it
is no longer needed.

Add an allocation check, and free the buffer as soon as it is no longer
needed.
