[PATCH v1] rtla: Fix implicit NULL dereference

From: Costa Shulyupin
Date: Thu Jan 09 2025 - 16:14:40 EST


The `record` variable is NULL when tracing is not requested:

struct osnoise_tool *record = NULL;

if (params->trace_output) {
record = osnoise_init_trace_tool("osnoise");
....

Value of `&record->trace` in this case is NULL just because
the `trace` member is the first member `struct osnoise_tool` with offset 0.
`&record->trace` just returns the offset.

Explicit dereference `record->trace' would cause segmentation fault.

Add explicit check for zero `record`.
