tracing: Fix a warning when allocating buffered events fails
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.
The situation can occur as follows:
* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.
* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.
* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
is called for cleanup.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.
* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
the function actually failed.
* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.
Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.
