[PATCH kernel-next] tracing: Fix uninitialized variable in tracing_set_tracer()

[Dheeraj Reddy Jonnalagadda]

Fix an issue in the tracing_set_tracer() where the variable ret could
be used uninitialized under certain conditions. Specifically, when
t->use_max_tr is true but tr->cond_snapshot is false, the code would
check the value of ret without first initializing it.

Fixes: a35873a0993b ("tracing: Add conditional snapshot")
Closes: https://scan7.scan.coverity.com/#/project-view/52337/11354?selectedIssue=1602786
