Subject: tracing: Fix error handling to ensure instances can always be removed
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=609e85a70bcd0eedf4ec60639dbcfb1ab011e054;p=linux-beck.git

tracing: Fix error handling to ensure instances can always be removed

Remove debugfs directories for tracing instances during creation if an error
occurs causing the trace_array for that instance to not be added to
ftrace_trace_arrays. If the directory continues to exist after the error, it
cannot be removed because the respective trace_array is not in
ftrace_trace_arrays.
