Merge tag 'trace-v6.8-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Two small fixes for tracefs and eventfs:

   - Fix register_snapshot_trigger() on allocation error

     If the snapshot fails to allocate, the register_snapshot_trigger()
     can still return success. If the call to
     tracing_alloc_snapshot_instance() returned anything but 0, it
     returned 0, but it should have been returning the error code from
     that allocation function.

   - Remove leftover code from tracefs doing a dentry walk on remount.

     The update_gid() function was called by the tracefs code on remount
     to update the gid of eventfs, but that is no longer the case, but
     that code wasn't deleted. Nothing calls it. Remove it"
