[PATCH 1/3] tracing: Fix double free when function profile init failed

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Apr 01 2013 - 08:46:56 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

On the failure path, stat->start and stat->pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.
