Linus,

tracing fixes for v7.1:

- Fix inverted check of registering the stats for branch tracing

  When calling register_stat_tracer() which returns zero on success and
  negative on error, the callers were checking the return of zero as an
  error and printing a warning message. Because this was just a normal
  printk() message and not a WARN(), it wasn't caught in any testing.

  Fix the check to print the warning message when an error actually happens.

- Fix a typo in a comment in tracepoint.h

- Limit the size of event probes to 3K in size

  It is possible to create a dynamic event probe via the tracefs system that
  is greater than the max size of an event that the ring buffer can hold.
  This basically causes the event to become useless. Limit the size of an
  event probe to be 3K as that should be large enough to handle any dynamic
  events being created, and fits within the PAGE_SIZE sub-buffers of the
  ring buffer.
