tracing: Return -EBUSY when event_enable_func() fails to get module
Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means "succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry is removed, because the event is already released. This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.
