commit 86b389ff22 upstream.
If a instance has an event trigger enabled when it is freed, it could cause
an access of free memory. Here's the case that crashes:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo snapshot > instances/foo/events/initcall/initcall_start/trigger
# rmdir instances/foo
Would produce:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

This was due to the call the clears out the triggers when an instance is
being deleted not removing the trigger from the link list.
