Sorry for the late review, I was busy getting ready for kernel summit
and then traveling too much.

I don't see any improvement in the above code, except for the initial
check of tracing_is_disabled(). Just add:

        if (tracing_is_disabled())
                return -ENODEV;

no need for all the fancy work with using ret and goto.

Again, we don't need the goto and err_dir. The simple fix is to finish
the function with:

        ret = tracing_open_generic(inode, filp);
        if (ret < 0) {
                trace_array_put(tr);
                kfree(dir);
                return ret;
        }

        filp->private_data = dir;

        return 0;
