tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering...

Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger()
or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed
registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger.  In
the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated
buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.

trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm:
