[for-next][PATCH 15/21] tracing: Return -EINVAL if WARN_ON(!glob) triggered in event_hist_trigger_parse()

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>

If `WARN_ON(!glob)` is ever triggered, we will still continue executing
the next lines. This will trigger the more serious problem, a NULL
pointer dereference bug.

Just return -EINVAL if @glob is NULL.
