From: Alexander Z Lam <azl@xxxxxxxxxx> Remove debugfs directories for tracing instances during creation if an error occurs causing the trace_array for that instance to not be added to ftrace_trace_arrays. If the directory continues to exist after the error, it cannot be removed because the respective trace_array is not in ftrace_trace_arrays.
