tracing: Check return value of __register_event() in trace_module_add_events()

trace_module_add_events() ignores the return value of __register_event()
and unconditionally calls __add_event_to_tracers() for each event.

If __register_event() fails (for example, if event_init() fails), the
trace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but
__add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it.
If module loading subsequently fails and module memory is freed, tracing
state retains a stale trace_event_call pointer in trace_event_file,
leading to a use-after-free when tracefs or tracing subsystem operations
are later executed.

Fix this by checking the return value of __register_event() and only
calling __add_event_to_tracers() if event registration succeeded.
