Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: check the return value of kstrdup()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

kstrdup() returns NULL when some internal memory errors happen, it is
better to check the return value of it so to catch the memory error in
time.

Changelogs:
Compare with the last email, this one is using my full name.
And I am sorry that I did not notice the bugs in trace_boot.c had been
already patched. So I removed the content about trace_boot.c.
