[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Handle tracing_map_alloc_elts() error path correctly

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Mon Apr 25 2016 - 15:01:49 EST


If tracing_map_elt_alloc() fails, it will return ERR_PTR() instead of
NULL, so change the check to IS_ERROR(). We also need to set the
failed entry in the map->elts array to NULL instead of ERR_PTR() so
tracing_map_free_elts() doesn't try freeing an ERR_PTR().

tracing_map_free_elts() should also zero out what it frees so a
reentrant call won't find previously freed elements.
