tracing/filters: fix bug in copy_pred()

Impact: fix potential crash on subsystem filter expression freeing

When making a copy of the predicate, pred->field_name needs to be
duplicated in the copy as well, otherwise bad things can happen due to
later multiple frees of the same string.

This affects only per-subsystem event filtering.
