Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: Remove redundant assignment to event_var

Variable event_var is set to 'ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)', but this value
is never read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence
it is a redundant assignment and can be removed.

Clean up the following clang-analyzer warning:

kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:2437:21: warning: Value stored to
'event_var' during its initialization is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

Changes in v2:
-Move the declaration of event_var below key_field, as their names
are both the same size in length and are of the same type. This
keeps the "upside-down x-mas tree" look of the declarations. For
the follow advice: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1422518/
