Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 0/3] tracing: More fixes for 6.3


- Fix boot up snapshot code:

  Boot snapshots were triggering when not even asked for on the
  kernel command line. This was caused by two bugs.

  1) It would trigger a snapshot on any instance if one was created
     from the kernel command line.

  2) The error handling would only affect the top level instance.
     So the fact that a snapshot was done on a instance that didn't
     allocate a buffer triggered a warning written into the top level
     buffer, and worse yet, disabled the top level buffer.

- Fix memory leak that was caused when an error was logged in a
  trace buffer instance, and then the buffer instance was removed.
  The allocated error log messages still need to be freed.
