From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit afccc00f75bbbee4e4ae833a96c2d29a7259c693 ] tracing_stat_init() was always returning '0', even on the error paths. It now returns -ENODEV if tracing_init_dentry() fails or -ENOMEM if it fails to created the 'trace_stat' debugfs directory.
