Steven Rostedt 098335215a tracing: fix memory leak in trace_stat 
If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
pointer dereference.

Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.

This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.

This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.
