When trace_get_user in trace_pid_write parses an only space, the
!trace_parser_loaded branch will break with no errno, causing
tr->filtered_pids to still be assigned with pid_list, which may trigger
potential problems.

Hi Steven,

Sorry, this patch will break the cleanup functionality of "set_ftrace_pid" as indicated in [0]. Pls ignore this patch.

This patch will also silence the fault injection syzkaller warning in
tracepoint_add_func [0]. We can reproduce the warning by following the
steps below:
1. echo 8 >> set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid
    and register sched_switch tracepoint.
2. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk
    allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and
assign to tr->filtered_pids.
3. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to
    tr->filtered_pids.
4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register
    sched_switch tracepoint warning.

As for this fault injection syzkaller issue, shall we need to silence it? How about the below fix?
