[PATCH] tracing: Free tracer resources on instance creation failure

Creating a tracefs instance can allocate private tracer nodes, copied
flags and option arrays before trace_array_create_dir() returns. If a
later allocation fails, trace_array_create_systems() jumps to
out_free_tr and frees the trace_array without releasing those private
allocations. The failed instance is never registered, so normal removal
cannot reclaim them.

Free the tracer nodes and option arrays when trace_array_create_dir()
fails, then continue through the existing trace_array cleanup. Earlier
failures still use out_free_tr because the tracer list is not yet
initialized there.

Tested under ARM64 QEMU/KVM through tracefs instance mkdir with
failslab targeting tracer flags, a later tracer node and option-array
growth. The baseline retained one or four private allocations after
the failed mkdir; the patched kernel retained none. Normal instance
option read/write and removal also passed.
