tools lib traceevent: Fix memory leak in process_dynamic_array_len
[ Upstream commit e24c6447ccb7b1a01f9bf0aec94939e6450c0b4d ]
I compiled with AddressSanitizer and I had these memory leaks while I
was using the tep_parse_format function:
Direct leak of 28 byte(s) in 4 object(s) allocated from:

The token variable in the process_dynamic_array_len function is
allocated in the read_expect_type function, but is not freed before
calling the read_token function.
Free the token variable before calling read_token in order to plug the
leak.
