tracing: Fix crash when it fails to alloc ring buffer
Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:
instance_mkdir()
|-allocate_trace_buffers()
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)
// allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
// and the buffer pointer is not set to null
|-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)
// out_free_tr
|-free_trace_buffers()
|-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);
//if trace_buffer is not null, free again
|-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
|-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
// ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
// crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages
