Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
   the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
   allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
   guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
   memory when the function exits.

 - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too

   There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did
   the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for
   both algorithms to use the same logic in one place.

 - Add poll to trace event hist files

   It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
   filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
   event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake
   up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know
   that the event it is waiting for happened.

 - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules

   The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
   traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
   That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
   loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
   module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
   enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
   events do not have that feature.

   Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event,
   then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or
   cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded.
   This also works from the kernel command line, where
   "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up,
   its events will be enabled then.
