Subject: tracing: Fix possible memory leak in __create_synth_event() error
 path
Git-commit: c24be24aed405d64ebcf04526614c13b2adfb1d2
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc5
References: git-fixes

There's error paths in __create_synth_event() after the argv is allocated
that fail to free it. Add a jump to free it when necessary.
