Linus Torvalds f780f00d72 Two fixes for the tracing system.
o When trace_printk() is used with a non constant format descriptor,
    it adds a NULL pointer into the trace format section, and the code
    isn't prepared to deal with it. This bug appeared by a change that
    was added in v3.5.
 
  o The ftracetest (selftests section) can't handle testing histograms
    when histograms are not configured. Currently it shows that they
    fail the test, when they should state that they are unsupported.
    This bug was added in the 4.7 merge window with the addition of
    the historgram code.
