Subject: [PATCH 5.15 063/262] tracing: Do not let synth_events block other dyn_event systems during create

From: Beau Belgrave <beaub@...ux.microsoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 4f67cca70c0f615e9cfe6ac42244f3416ec60877 ]

synth_events is returning -EINVAL if the dyn_event create command does
not contain ' \t'. This prevents other systems from getting called back.
synth_events needs to return -ECANCELED in these cases when the command
is not targeting the synth_event system.
