tracing: Fix leak of ring buffer data when new instances creation fails

Yoshihiro Yunomae reported that the ring buffer data for a trace
instance does not get properly cleaned up when it fails. He proposed
a patch that manually cleaned the data up and addad a bunch of labels.
The labels are not needed because all trace array is allocated with
a kzalloc which initializes it to 0 and all kfree()s can take a NULL
pointer and will ignore it.

Adding a new helper function free_trace_buffers() that can also take
null buffers to free the buffers that were allocated by
allocate_trace_buffers().
