tracing/filters: Dynamically allocate filter_pred.regex

Browse source

Every predicate allocation includes a MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256) char array
in the regex field, even if the predicate function does not use the field.

A later commit will introduce a dynamically allocated cpumask to struct
filter_pred, which will require a dedicated freeing function. Bite the
bullet and make filter_pred.regex dynamically allocated.

While at it, reorder the fields of filter_pred to fill in the byte
holes. The struct now fits on a single cacheline.

No change in behaviour intended.

The kfree()'s were patched via Coccinelle:
  @@
  struct filter_pred *pred;
  @@

  -kfree(pred);
  +free_predicate(pred);
