Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Return -ENOENT if there is no target synthetic event

Return -ENOENT error if there is no target synthetic event.
This notices an operation failure to user as below;

  # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid;' > synthetic_events
  # echo '!wakeup' >> synthetic_events
  sh: write error: No such file or directory

Fixes: 4b147936fa50 ('tracing: Add support for 'synthetic' events')
