Steven Rostedt (VMware) 561ca66910 tracing: Make -ENOMEM the default error for parse_synth_field()
parse_synth_field() returns a pointer and requires that errors get
surrounded by ERR_PTR(). The ret variable is initialized to zero, but should
never be used as zero, and if it is, it could cause a false return code and
produce a NULL pointer dereference. It makes no sense to set ret to zero.

Set ret to -ENOMEM (the most common error case), and have any other errors
set it to something else. This removes the need to initialize ret on *every*
error branch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
