Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:

instance_mkdir()
    |-allocate_trace_buffers()
        |-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
	|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)

          // allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
          // and the buffer pointer is not set to null
        |-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)

       // out_free_tr
    |-free_trace_buffers()
        |-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);

	      //if trace_buffer is not null, free again
	    |-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
                |-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
                    // ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
                    // crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages
