Sorry I hit send too soon!

I was saying, While going through this code again I noticed another
potential issue in __ftrace_event_enable_disable in existing code:

Here we do:
ret = call->class->reg(call, TRACE_REG_REGISTER, file);

But in the error handling path we only do a
tracing_stop_cmdline_record() and not clear the
EVENT_FILE_FL_RECORDED_CMD_BIT flag. Is that not an issue? I am
guessing because enabling of the event itself will fail, that's Ok.
But just to keep it consistent, I am thinking if we should just clear
the bit here.

Thanks,
Joel
