Subject: tracing/trigger: Fix to return error if failed to alloc snapshot
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0958b33ef5a04ed91f61cef4760ac412080c4e08 upstream.
Fix register_snapshot_trigger() to return error code if it failed to
allocate a snapshot instead of 0 (success). Unless that, it will register
snapshot trigger without an error.
