commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac upstream.
clang static analyzer reports this problem
trace_events_hist.c:3824:3: warning: Attempt to free released memory kfree(hist_data->attrs->var_defs.name[i]);
In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed. This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees the rest of the list.
Because free_var_defs() has to run anyway, remove the second free fom parse_var_defs().
