tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer()
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-86682 commit 22bec11 Author: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Date: Mon Jan 6 11:11:43 2025 -0500 tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer() When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard() infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping to an out label. When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the "ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.
