Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.
Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.
The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.
This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret < 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
