tracing: Use queue_rcu_work() to free filters
Freeing of filters requires to wait for both an RCU grace period as well as
a RCU task trace wait period after they have been detached from their
lists. The trace task period can be quite large so the freeing of the
filters was moved to use the call_rcu*() routines. The problem with that is
that the callback functions of call_rcu*() is done from a soft irq and can
cause latencies if the callback takes a bit of time.
The filters are freed per event in a system and the syscalls system
contains an event per system call, which can be over 700 events. Freeing 700
filters in a bottom half is undesirable.
Instead, move the freeing to use queue_rcu_work() which is done in task
context.
