tracing: Check return value of __create_val_fields() before using its result 

After having a typo for writing a histogram trigger.

Wrote:
  echo 'hist:key=pid:ts=common_timestamp.usec' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger

Instead of:
  echo 'hist:key=pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger

and the following crash happened:

This was caused by accessing the hlist_data fields after the call to
__create_val_fields() without checking if the creation succeed.
