From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The following commands will cause a memory leak:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo schedule > instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
# rmdir instances/foo
The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.
Found by kmemleak detector.
