Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] f2fs: fix args passed to trace_f2fs_lookup_end

The NULL return of 'd_splice_alias' dosen't mean error. Thus the
successful case will also return NULL, which makes the tracepoint always
print 'err=-ENOENT'.

And the different cases of 'new' & 'err' are list as following:
1) dentry exists: err(0) with new(NULL) --> dentry, err=0
2) dentry exists: err(0) with new(VALID) --> new, err=0
3) dentry exists: err(0) with new(ERR) --> dentry, err=ERR
4) no dentry exists: err(-ENOENT) with new(NULL) --> dentry, err=-ENOENT
5) no dentry exists: err(-ENOENT) with new(VALID) --> new, err=-ENOENT
6) no dentry exists: err(-ENOENT) with new(ERR) --> dentry, err=ERR
