Subject: [PATCH 4.18 316/350] tracing: Return -ENOENT if there is no target synthetic event

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

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

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

commit 18858511fd8a877303cc34c06efa461b26a0e070 upstream.

Return -ENOENT error if there is no target synthetic event.
This notices an operation failure to user as below;

  # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid;' > synthetic_events
  # echo '!wakeup' >> synthetic_events
  sh: write error: No such file or directory
