Subject: [PATCH 3.16 059/136] tracing: Get trace_array reference for
 available_tracers files

3.16.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

commit 194c2c74f5532e62c218adeb8e2b683119503907 upstream.

As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the
trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the
instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin
deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before
accessing the trace_array.

Fixes: 607e2ea167e56 ("tracing: Set up infrastructure to allow tracers for instances")
