On remount, the tracing directory may move, and the tracing_dir needs to be
updated. If tracing_dir is the same it is simply returned, but if it is not,
it has to be calculated again. This was fixed but if it was changed, the old
tracing_dir was never freed.

Always free the tracing_dir before calculating a new one. This also requires
changing the type by removing the "const" attribute.

Fixes: 92c9292a ("libtracefs: Have tracefs_{tracing,debug}_dir() make sure it's still mounted")
