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

rtla: Avoid record NULL pointer dereference

Fix the following null/deref_null.cocci errors:
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/osnoise_hist.c:870:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/osnoise_top.c:650:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/timerlat_hist.c:905:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.
./tools/tracing/rtla/src/timerlat_top.c:700:31-36: ERROR: record is NULL but dereferenced.

"record" is NULL before calling osnoise_init_trace_tool.
Add a tag "out_free" to avoid dereferring a NULL pointer.
