Subject: [for-next][PATCH 13/13] tracing: Decrement the snapshot if the snapshot trigger fails to
 register

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

Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail.
Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented
every time a snapshot trigger was added, even if that snapshot trigger
failed.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
 # echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
 -bash: echo: write error: File exists

That second one that fails increments the snapshot counter but doesn't
decrement it. It needs to be decremented when the snapshot fails.
