6e4cf657de tracing: Handle tracing_map_alloc_elts() error path correctly
If tracing_map_elt_alloc() fails, it will return ERR_PTR() instead of
NULL, so change the check to IS_ERROR().  We also need to set the
failed entry in the map->elts array to NULL instead of ERR_PTR() so
tracing_map_free_elts() doesn't try freeing an ERR_PTR().

tracing_map_free_elts() should also zero out what it frees so a
reentrant call won't find previously freed elements.

4812952f9c tracing: checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR()
tracing_map_elt_alloc() returns ERR_PTRs on error, never NULL.

3b772b96b8 tracing: Update some tracing_map constants and comments
Make it clear exactly how many keys and values are supported through
better defines, and add 1 to the vals count, since normally clients
want support for at least a hitcount and two other values.

Also, note the error return value for tracing_map_add_key/val_field()
in the comments.

08d43a5fa0 tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map
Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing.

tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values
associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which
is associated by the map to a given key.

It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is
separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared
between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside
of that context.

The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map
algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click:
