[for-next-3.11][PATCH 08/12] tracing: Fix error handling to ensure instances can always beremoved

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Alexander Z Lam <azl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove debugfs directories for tracing instances during creation if an error
occurs causing the trace_array for that instance to not be added to
ftrace_trace_arrays. If the directory continues to exist after the error, it
cannot be removed because the respective trace_array is not in
ftrace_trace_arrays.
