tracing: Make create_filter() code match the comments The comment in create_filter() states that the passed in filter pointer (filterp) will either be NULL or contain an error message stating why the filter failed. But it also expects the filter pointer to point to NULL when passed in. If it is not, the function create_filter_start() will warn and return an error message without updating the filter pointer. This is not what the comment states. As we always expect the pointer to point to NULL, if it is not, trigger a WARN_ON(), set it to NULL, and then continue the path as the rest will work as the comment states. Also update the comment to state it must point to NULL. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
