tracing: Silence warning when chunk allocation fails in tracepidwrite
Syzkaller trigger a fault injection warning:

We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below: 1. echo 8 >> seteventnotracepid. Let tr->filteredpids owns one pid and register schedswitch tracepoint. 2. echo ' ' >> seteventpid, and perform fault injection during chunk allocation of tracepidlistalloc. Let pidlist with no pid and assign to tr->filteredpids. 3. echo ' ' >> seteventpid. Let pidlist is NULL and assign to tr->filteredpids. 4. echo 9 >> seteventpid, will trigger the double register sched_switch tracepoint warning.
The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation in tracepidlistalloc, causing a failure in tracepidlistset, which may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's add failure handling logic to tracepidlist_set.
