rtla osnoise and timerlat are causing a segmentation fault when running
with the --trace option on a kernel that does not support multiple
instances. For example:
[root@f34 rtla]# rtla osnoise top -t
failed to enable the tracer osnoise
Could not enable osnoiser tracer for tracing
Failed to enable the trace instance
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This error happens because the exit code of the tools is trying
to destroy the trace instance that failed to be created.
Make osnoise_destroy_tool() aware of possible NULL osnoise_tool *,
and do not attempt to destroy it. This also simplifies the exit code.

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.
