Subject: [tip PATCH] tracing/filters: don't use pred on alloc failure
Dan Carpenter sent me a fix to prevent pred from being used if it
couldn't be allocated. This updates his patch for the same problem in
tip.
Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@...il.com>
The original report:
create_logical_pred() could sometimes return NULL.
It's a static checker complaining rather than problems at runtime...
