Subject: [PATCH 1/2] trace-cmd: [BUGFIX] Initialize handle->options list in
 tracecmd_attach_cpu_data_fd()

This patch initializes handle->options list in tracecmd_attach_cpu_data_fd().

When recorder sends trace data via network, server recording process is
killed by SIGSEGV from the patch 71484a0854f7. This is because add_options()
uses handle->options list from the patch, but tracecmd_attach_cpu_data_fd()
calling add_options() does not initialize the list in spite of allocation of
new handle. As the result, the server recording process will be killed because
handle->options is cleared to zero in tracecmd_attach_cpu_data_fd().

<How to test>
1. Execute network(listen) server
 # trace-cmd listen -p 12345

2. Execute network client
 # trace-cmd record -e sched* -N <server IP>:12345

3. Stop the record on client
 ^C

 Here, network server should output a line "CPUX data recorded at offset=XXXX",
 but current network server aborts silently.

 Moreover the client's per-cpu files are separated. (Normally those files
 are merged into one trace file.)

4. Confirm error on network server
 #  dmesg | tail -1
[18551.537113] trace-cmd[23073]: segfault at ffffffffffffffe8 ip 0000000000432fd1 sp 00007fffffa4caa0 error 5 in trace-cmd[400000+47000]

 After we would introduce this patch, the server will be fully able to output
 the client's tracing data and we will not get this error.
