tracing: Decrement the snapshot if the snapshot trigger fails to register
Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail.
Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented
every time a snapshot trigger was added, even if that snapshot trigger
failed.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
# echo "snapshot" > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
-bash: echo: write error: File exists
That second one that fails increments the snapshot counter but doesn't
decrement it. It needs to be decremented when the snapshot fails.
