Hi Masamai,

Can we instead define trigger_process_regex() in trace.h to be:

static inline int trigger_process_regex(struct trace_event_file *file, char *buff)
{
	return -1;
}

When this config is not set?

This makes the code a bit cleaner, and you get the "Failed to apply an
action" error as well.
