tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named histogram trigger

Browse Source 
event_hist_trigger_named_init() puts the trigger on the global
named_triggers list and only then takes the reference on the trigger it
shares its histogram with:

	data->ref++;

	save_named_trigger(data->named_data->name, data);

	ret = event_hist_trigger_init(data->named_data);
	if (ret < 0) {
		kfree(data->cmd_ops);
		data->cmd_ops = &trigger_hist_cmd;
	}

	return ret;

event_hist_trigger_init() fails when alloc_hist_pad() cannot allocate, and
nothing takes the trigger back off the list on the way out.
event_hist_trigger_parse() frees it, and the next lookup by name reads the
freed object:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888009346860 by task init/1
  find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
  hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00
  event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0
  event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160
 Freed by task 67:
  kfree+0x154/0x420
  trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160

Do the reference first and publish once it has succeeded, so that nothing
which can fail runs after the trigger becomes findable.
