tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in start_creating
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.58 commit 046e12323ab459f20082d57ed16b055a14f0f6dc bugzilla: 176984 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4E2P4 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=046e12323ab459f20082d57ed16b055a14f0f6dc -------------------------------- commit ff41c28c upstream. The event_trace_add_tracer() can fail. In this case, it leads to a crash in start_creating with below call stack. Handle the error scenario properly in trace_array_create_dir.
