[PATCH] tracing: Fix use-after-free on field name/type of dynamic probe events

Fields of a probe-based dynamic event (kprobe, uprobe and eprobe
events) are created from the argument name and type strings of the
trace_probe that first registers the event, as plain pointer
references without copying.

When several probes are appended to the same event, they share the
trace_event_call and its field list, which stays the one defined by
the primary probe. Deleting just the primary probe with
"-:group/event symbol" frees the trace_probe and its argument
strings, while the event call is kept registered by the remaining
sibling probes. field->name and field->type are left dangling, and
any field lookup - e.g. writing to events/<grp>/<ev>/filter - reads
freed memory:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in strcmp+0xa7/0xb0
  Call trace:
   trace_find_event_field+0xd6/0x220
   parse_pred
   process_preds
   create_filter
   apply_event_filter
   event_filter_write

Make the field own its strings: duplicate name and type with
kstrdup_const() in __trace_define_field() and release them with
kfree_const() in trace_destroy_fields(). Fields of static trace
events still reference their kernel/module rodata string literals
directly, as kstrdup_const()/kfree_const() only touch memory that
was actually allocated.

The issue was found by the autokbug dynamic kernel fuzzer at Tencent
Yunding Lab.
