trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field' 

stable inclusion
from stable-v4.19.272
commit d2d1ada58e7cc100b8d7d6b082d19321ba4a700a
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IBWVXP
CVE: CVE-2023-53005

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=d2d1ada58e7cc100b8d7d6b082d19321ba4a700a

--------------------------------

commit 8b152e91 upstream.

Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
