Zilin Guan 80f0d631dc tracing: Fix memory leaks in create_field_var() ...

The function create_field_var() allocates memory for 'val' through
create_hist_field() inside parse_atom(), and for 'var' through
create_var(), which in turn allocates var->type and var->var.name
internally. Simply calling kfree() to release these structures will
result in memory leaks.

Use destroy_hist_field() to properly free 'val', and explicitly release
the memory of var->type and var->var.name before freeing 'var' itself.
