Linus Torvalds 5b95a50001 Fixes for tracing:
- Check for reader catching up in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()
 
   If the reader catches up to the writer in the memory mapped ring buffer
   then calling rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as there's no
   pages left. But this isn't checked for before calling rb_get_reader_page()
   and the return of NULL causes a warning.
 
   If it is detected that the reader caught up to the writer, then simply
   exit the routine.
 
 - Fix memory leak in histogram create_field_var()
 
   The couple of the error paths in create_field_var() did not properly clean
   up what was allocated. Make sure everything is freed properly on error.
 
 - Fix help message of tools latency_collector
 
   The help message incorrectly stated that "-t" was the same as "--threads"
   whereas "--threads" is actually represented by "-e".
