[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.20 205/304] tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Fix non root execution for post processing a trace file

From: Sasha Levin

From: Doug Smythies <doug.smythies@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 663546903c835fe46308b1b1e53d32d1f2b33da9 ]

This script is supposed to be allowed to run with regular user
privileges if a previously captured trace is being post processed.

Commit fbe313884d7d (tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Free the
trace buffer memory) introduced a bug that breaks that option.

Commit 35459105deb2 (tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Add
optional setting of trace buffer memory allocation) moved the code
but kept the bug.

This patch fixes the issue.

Fixes: 35459105deb2 (tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Add optional ...)
