Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Wei Yongjun fixed a long standing bug in the ring buffer startup test.

  If for some unknown reason, the kthread that is created fails to be
  created, the return from kthread_create() is an PTR_ERR and not a
  NULL. The test incorrectly checks for NULL instead of an error"
