[PATCH v2] tracing: fix referencing after memory freeing and refactors code

From: Geyslan G. Bem
Date: Wed Nov 06 2013 - 14:08:47 EST


In 'system_tr_open()':
Fix possible 'dir' assignment after freeing it.

In both functions:
Restructures logic conditions testing 'tracing_is_disabled()'
return before the others tests.
