Masami Hiramatsu (Google) d7dbdd2ee0 tracing: Fix to avoid creating trace instances with duplicate names ...

Since commit e645535a95 ("tracing: Add option to use memmapped
memory for trace boot instance") changed trace_array_get_by_name() to
trace_array_create_systems(), enable_instances() does not reuse the
same name instance. Therefore, if an administrator mistakenly specifies
multiple `trace_instance=` options with duplicate names, all are
created but only the first is accessible via tracefs.

Check whether an instance with the same name already exists before
creating a new one, and reject duplicates with a warning.

Fixes: e645535a95 ("tracing: Add option to use memmapped memory for trace boot instance")
