Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing/filters: don't remove old filters when failed
 to write subsys->filter

If writing subsys->filter returns EINVAL or ENOSPC, the original
filters in subsys/ and subsys/events/ will be removed. This is
definitely wrong.

This bug is not revealed in mainline, since subsys/filter is disabled,
and it's re-enabled in -tip by a002587bf18c3b316bcf48542fccbc4ae2fc972e:

"tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT event"
