Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 10/10] tracing: Dont inc err_log entry count if entry allocation fails

From: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@...nel.org>

tr->n_err_log_entries should only be increased if entry allocation
succeeds.

Doing it when it fails won't cause any problems other than wasting an
entry, but should be fixed anyway.
