Subject: [ 18/99] tracing: Fix error handling to ensure instances can always be removed

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Z Lam <azl@...gle.com>

commit 609e85a70bcd0eedf4ec60639dbcfb1ab011e054 upstream.

Remove debugfs directories for tracing instances during creation if an error
occurs causing the trace_array for that instance to not be added to
ftrace_trace_arrays. If the directory continues to exist after the error, it
cannot be removed because the respective trace_array is not in
ftrace_trace_arrays.
