Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/2] tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return error code if it failed to
allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register
snapshot trigger without an error.

Fixes: 0bbe7f719985 ("tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering 'snapshot' operation")
