[PATCH 2/4] tools lib traceevent: Make sure that arg->op.right is set properly

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Sep 19 2012 - 03:07:42 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

When process_op failed, @arg will be freed on a caller with type of
PRINT_OP. Thus free_arg() will try to free ->op.right field which can
have stale value if something bad happens in the middle.
