[for-linus][PATCH 07/12] tracing: Fix to avoid creating trace instances with duplicate names

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Since commit e645535a954a ("tracing: Add option to use memmapped
memory for trace boot instance") changed trace_array_get_by_name() to
trace_array_create_systems(), enable_instances() does not reuse the
same name instance. Therefore, if an administrator mistakenly specifies
multiple `trace_instance=` options with duplicate names, all are
created but only the first is accessible via tracefs.

Check whether an instance with the same name already exists before
creating a new one, and reject duplicates with a warning.
