Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Have tracing_max_latency inc the trace array ref
 count

The tracing_max_latency file points to the trace_array max_latency field.
For an instance, if the file is opened and the instance is deleted,
reading or writing to the file will cause a use after free.

Up the ref count of the trace_array when tracing_max_latency is opened.
