tracing/function-profiler: do not free per cpu variable stat
The per cpu variable stat is freeded if we fail to allocate a name on start up. This was due to stat at first being allocated in the initial design. But since then, it has become a static per cpu variable but the free on error was not removed. Also added __init annotation to the function that this is in. [ Impact: prevent possible memory corruption on low mem at boot up ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
