tracing: trace_output.c, fix false positive compiler warning

This compiler warning:

  CC      kernel/trace/trace_output.o
 kernel/trace/trace_output.c: In function ‘register_ftrace_event’:
 kernel/trace/trace_output.c:544: warning: ‘list’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Is wrong as 'list' is always initialized - but GCC (4.3.2) does not
recognize this relationship properly.

Work around the warning by initializing the variable to NULL.

[ Impact: fix false positive compiler warning ]
