Subject[tip:tracing/urgent] blktrace: pass the right pointer to kfree()

blktrace: pass the right pointer to kfree()

Impact: fix kfree crash with non-standard act_mask string

If passing a string with leading white spaces to strstrip(),
the returned ptr != the original ptr.

This bug was introduced by me.
