[PATCH] tracing: Fix a potential NULL dereference

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Fri Mar 23 2018 - 07:38:01 EST


We forgot to set the error code on this path so we return ERR_PTR(0)
which is NULL. It results in a NULL dereference in the caller.

Fixes: 100719dcef44 ("tracing: Add simple expression support to hist triggers")
