Subject[PATCH] tracing: check the return value of kstrndup()
Date
From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>

kstrndup() is a memory allocation-related function, it returns NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. It is better to check the return
value of it so to catch the memory error in time.
