The iterator allocated a descriptor to copy the current_trace. This was done with the assumption that the function pointers might change. But this was a false assuption, as it does not change. There's no reason to make a copy of the current_trace and just use the pointer it points to. This removes needing to manage freeing the descriptor. Worse yet, there's locations that the iterator is used but does make a copy and just uses the pointer. This could cause the actual pointer to the trace descriptor to be freed and not the allocated copy. This is more of a clean up than a fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
