Subject: tracing: Fix double free when function profile init failed
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>
commit 83e03b3fe4daffdebbb42151d5410d730ae50bd1 upstream.
On the failure path, stat->start and stat->pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.
