Subject: [ 04/11] tracing: Fix double free when function profile init failed

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>

commit 83e03b3fe4daffdebbb42151d5410d730ae50bd1 upstream.

On the failure path, stat->start and stat->pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.
