Tengda Wu 41a2c7abc3 tracing: Correct the refcount if the hist/hist_debug file fails to open
[ Upstream commit 0b4ffbe4888a2c71185eaf5c1a02dd3586a9bc04 ]

The function event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() maintains the refcount of
'file->tr' and 'file' through tracing_open_file_tr(). However, it does
not roll back these counts on subsequent failure paths, resulting in a
refcount leak.

A very obvious case is that if the hist/hist_debug file belongs to a
specific instance, the refcount leak will prevent the deletion of that
instance, as it relies on the condition 'tr->ref == 1' within
__remove_instance().

Fix this by calling tracing_release_file_tr() on all failure paths in
event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() to correct the refcount.
