Summary
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

traceeventshist: add check for return value of 'createhistfield'

Function 'createhistfield' is called recursively at traceeventshist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
