[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 16/40] tools lib traceevent: Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree()

3.19.8-ckt22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 106b816cb46ebd87408b4ed99a2e16203114daa6 upstream.

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.

What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.

The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.
