tracing: Fix race where histograms can be called before the event
commit 94eedf3d ("tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event") fixed an issue where if an event is soft disabled, and the trigger is being added, there's a small window where the event sees that there's a trigger but does not see that it requires reading the event yet, and then calls the trigger with the record == NULL. This could be solved with adding memory barriers in the hot path, or to make sure that all the triggers requiring a record check for NULL. The latter was chosen. Commit 94eedf3d set the eprobe trigger handle to check for NULL, but the same needs to be done with histograms.
