Subject: [PATCH 11/14] tracing: Switch trace_events_synth.c code over to use guard()

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

There are a couple functions in trace_events_synth.c that have "goto out"
or equivalent on error in order to release locks that were taken. This can
be error prone or just simply make the code more complex.

Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex on error over to
using the guard(mutex)() infrastructure to let the compiler worry about
releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read and understand.
