Subject: [PATCH 4/6] tracing: Have current_trace inc the trace array ref count

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The current_trace updates the trace array tracer. For an instance, if the
file is opened and the instance is deleted, reading or writing to the file
will cause a use after free.

Up the ref count of the trace array when current_trace is opened.
