Hmm, your patch seems to leak a memory since event_trigger_init() will
be called twice on same trigger_data (Note that event_trigger_init()
does not init ref counter, but increment it.) So we should decrement
it when we find it is succeeded. Moreover, if register_trigger()
fails before calling data->ops->init() (see -EEXIST case), the ref
counter will be 0 (-1 +1). But if it fails after data->ops->init(),
the ref counter will be 1 (-1 +1 +1). It still be unstable.
(Ah, that means we may have another trouble...)

Hmm it seems we should review the register_trigger() implementation.
It should return the return value of trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(),
shouldn't it?
