Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix ref count of trace_array in error path of histogram file open

  Tracing instances have a ref count to keep them around while files
  within their directories are open. This prevents them from being
  deleted while they are used.

  The histogram code had some files that needed to take the ref count
  and that was added, but the error paths did not decrement the ref
  counts. This caused the instances from ever being removed if a
  histogram file failed to open due to some error"

* tag 'trace-v6.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  tracing: Correct the refcount if the hist/hist_debug file fails to open
