tracing/ftrace: fix double calls to tracing_start()

Impact: fix a warning during preemptirqsoff selftests

When the preemptirqsoff selftest fails, we see the following
warning:

[    6.050000] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found ..
------------[ cut here ]------------
[    6.060000] WARNING: at kernel/trace/trace.c:688 tracing_start+0x67/0xd3()

[    6.060000]  [<ffffffff8102510b>] init_irqsoff_tracer+0x3b/0x53

This is because in fail case, the preemptirqsoff tracer selftest calls twice
the tracing_start() function:

int
trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff(struct tracer *trace, struct trace_array *tr)
{
        if (!ret && !count) {
                printk(KERN_CONT ".. no entries found ..");
                ret = -1;
                tracing_start(); <-----
                goto out;
        }
        [...]
out:
        trace->reset(tr);
        tracing_start(); <------
        tracing_max_latency = save_max;

        return ret;
}

Since it is well handled in the out path, we don't need the conditional one.
