ftrace: Fix trace_add_event_call() to initialize list
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...hat.com>
Handle failuer path in trace_add_event_call() for fixing below bug
which occurred when I tried to add invalid event twice.
Could not create debugfs 'kmalloc' directory
Failed to register kprobe event: kmalloc
Faild to register probe event(-1)
