[PATCH 2/7 v2] ftrace: Get a reference counter for the trace_array on filter files

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The ftrace set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files are specific for
an instance now. They need to take a reference to the instance otherwise
there could be a race between accessing the files and deleting the instance.

It wasn't until the :mod: caching where these file operations stated
referencing the trace_arry directly.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 673feb9d76ab3 ("ftrace: Add :mod: caching infrastructure to trace_array")
