tracing: Fix memory leak when reading set_event file
kmemleak reports the following memory leak after reading set_event file:
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xff110001234449e0 (size 16):
comm "cat", pid 13645, jiffies 4294981880
hex dump (first 16 bytes):
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a8 71 e7 84 ff ff ff ff .........q......
backtrace (crc c43abbc):
__kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x3ca/0x4b0
s_start+0x72/0x2d0
seq_read_iter+0x265/0x1080
seq_read+0x2c9/0x420

ksys_read+0xf4/0x1d0
do_syscall_64+0x79/0x150
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e
The issue can be reproduced regardless of whether set_event is empty or
not. Here is an example about the valid content of set_event.
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event
sched:sched_process_fork
sched:sched_switch
sched:sched_wakeup
*:*:mod:trace_events_sample
The root cause is that s_next() returns NULL when nothing is found.
This results in s_stop() attempting to free a NULL pointer because its
parameter is NULL.
Fix the issue by freeing the memory appropriately when s_next() fails
to find anything.
