Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix possible crash in ftrace_free_ftrace_ops()

Currently if the ftrace_allocate_ftrace_ops() return -ENOMEM,
the ftrace_free_ftrace_ops() will kfree(NULL).
 
trace_array_create()
{
	...
	if (ftrace_allocate_ftrace_ops(tr) < 0)
		goto out_free_tr;
	...
out_free_tr:
        ftrace_free_ftrace_ops(tr);
	...
}

ftrace_allocate_ftrace_ops()
{
	...
	ops = kzalloc(sizeof(*ops), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!ops)
                return -ENOMEM;
	...
}

ftrace_free_ftrace_ops()
{
        kfree(tr->ops);
        tr->ops = NULL;
}
