tracing: Fix potential null-pointer-access of entry in list 'tr->err_log'

Entries in list 'tr->err_log' will be reused after entry number
exceed TRACING_LOG_ERRS_MAX.

The cmd string of the to be reused entry will be freed first then
allocated a new one. If the allocation failed, then the entry will
still be in list 'tr->err_log' but its 'cmd' field is set to be NULL,
later access of 'cmd' is risky.

Currently above problem can cause the loss of 'cmd' information of first
entry in 'tr->err_log'. When execute `cat /sys/kernel/tracing/error_log`,
reproduce logs like:
  [   37.495100] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is not for kprobe(null) ^
  [   38.412517] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is not for kprobe
    Command: p4:myprobe2 do_sys_openat2
            ^
