tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in start_creating
The event_trace_add_tracer() can fail. In this case, it leads to a crash
in start_creating with below call stack. Handle the error scenario
properly in trace_array_create_dir.
Call trace:
down_write+0x7c/0x204
start_creating.25017+0x6c/0x194
tracefs_create_file+0xc4/0x2b4
init_tracer_tracefs+0x5c/0x940
trace_array_create_dir+0x58/0xb4
trace_array_create+0x1bc/0x2b8
trace_array_get_by_name+0xdc/0x18c
