tracing fixes for v7.1:
- Avoid NULL return from hist_field_name()
The function hist_field_name() is directly passed to a strcat()
which does not handle "NULL" characters. Return a zero length
string when size is greater than the limit.
This is used only to output already created histograms and no
field currently is greater than the limit. But it should still
not return NULL.
- Do not call map->ops->elt_free() on allocation failure
When elt_alloc() fails, it should not call the map->ops->elt_free()
function if it exists, as that function may not be able to handle
the free on allocation failures. The ->elt_free() should only be
called when elt_alloc() succeeds.
