So I looked at this on the plane and you're right, this is a path that
should never be taken in this case, since the hist trigger does set the
post_trigger flag and should therefore TRIGGER_COND would be true and
that block should never be entered.
However, the code that registers the trigger first enables the event,
then sets the cond flag, which would allow this to happen - a trigger
expecting data would be passed a NULL rec.
Can you try the patch below and see if it fixes the problem? (untested
and I haven't even had a chance to compile-test it..)

[PATCH] tracing: Update cond flag before enabling or disabling a trigger
Before a trigger is enabled, the cond flag should be set beforehand,
otherwise an trigger that's expecting to process a trace record
(e.g. one with post_trigger set) could be invoked without one.
Likewise a trigger's cond flag should be reset after it's disabled,
not before.
