tracing: tprobe-events: Fix a memory leak when tprobe with $retval
Fix a memory leak when a tprobe is defined with $retval. This combination is not allowed, but the parse_symbol_and_return() does not free the *symbol which should not be used if it returns the error. Thus, it leaks the *symbol memory in that error path.
