From: "Geyslan G. Bem" <geys...@gmail.com> In system_tr_open(), the filp->private_data can be assigned the 'dir' variable even if it was freed. This is on the error path, and is harmless because the error return code will prevent filp->private_data from being used. But for correctness, we should not assign it to a recently freed variable, as that can cause static tools to give false warnings.
Also have both subsystem_open() and system_tr_open() return -ENODEV if tracing has been disabled.
