[2.6.31 PATCH] tracing/filters: don't use pred on alloc failure

[Tom Zanussi]

Dan Carpenter sent me a fix to prevent pred from being used if it
couldn't be allocated.  I noticed the same problem also existed for
the create_pred() case and added a fix for that.

The original report:

create_logical_pred() could sometimes return NULL.

It's a static checker complaining rather than problems at runtime...
