From: Steven Rostedt Impact: fix compile warning and clean up When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter to hold the return for errors. When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this out with a warning. This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel ERR_PTR macro methods.
