[PATCH 4.9 084/125] tracing: Fix the race between registering snapshot event trigger and triggering snapshot operation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Xiao Yang <yangx.jy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0bbe7f719985efd9adb3454679ecef0984cb6800 upstream.

Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger()
or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed
registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger. In
the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated
buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.

trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm:
